Posted September 14, 2016 Been using android pay since may. Super convenient and no confusion since no one here uses MST (swipe) payments so it's only ever contactless and chip or chip-only (rarely) terminals.

Posted September 14, 2016 This bit caught my eyes " Most other major UK banks, including Bank of Scotland, First Direct, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, M&S Bank, MBNA and Nationwide Building Society have supported Android Pay since launch, so if you bank with any of them all you need is the app – and an Android phone with NFC and a newer version of the operating system." How new then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How new then? Device requirements You'll need an Android phone running KitKat (version 4.4) or above. Your phone also needs to support NFC (Near Field Communication) and HCE (Host Card Emulation).

Posted September 14, 2016 Been using Android Pay since June when Halifax informed me about it, it's so much easier than carrying your card everywhere plus it adds an extra security layer to contactless as you must unlock your phone before you can use it. Basically it's like have my contactless card protected by my fingerprint Main Rig:- Ryzen 7 3800X | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | 16GB Team Group Dark Pro 3600Mhz | Corsair MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 | Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse | Corsair H115i Platinum | WD Black 1TB | WD Green 4TB | EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W | Asus TUF GT501 | Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144hz HDR FreeSync 2 | Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS | Server:- Intel NUC running Server 2019 + Synology DSM218+ with 2 x 4TB Toshiba NAS Ready HDDs (RAID0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 14, 2016 I've had the app for ages but haven't been bothered with activating it, it requires me to phone up HSBC which is just effort. 10 minutes ago, Castdeath97 said: Let me guess Barclays isn't getting it yet?
