Hi, I've got to agree that this is something that I would like to see come to Tesco Bank.
To say that my Tesco Credit card doesn't even support contactless payments is very disapointing when most other banks are clearly seeing the benefits of easier quicker payments.
I think the Tesco Clubcard app on the iPhone is a good step (this can be used if you forget your card) but pasbook intergration would be even better. Apple Pay even more so! Luke

Hi I've just joined Tesco Bank and I am astounded you do not offer Apple Pay. Everything else is so brilliantly automated. Please embrace Apple Pay or I may have to get a different credit card. Thanks Rick

I am more than a little disapointed that Tesco are not even conisdering the idea of Apple Pay. Even if you don't allow your card users to pay via Apple Pay. Others banks should be able to pay instore! Not that my opinion maters, but I am bored waiting and think it shows contempt to customers who clearly want the choice to use apple pay. For me, when Barclays get there act together I won't need to think about Tesco stores or cards. I can chose either and will side with those with Apple Pay.

Please tell me that this is being looked into?!
I use my Tesco credit card for everything and it's already frustrating that I can't make contactless payments with it, and now I can't register it for Apple Pay either!
If there's no plans for this to be rectified then I'm going to have to consider moving my account to another bank :-( -

It is annoying that Tesco's aren't yet supporting Apple Pay. But you guys are aware that it is only for transactions of less than £20? Realistically most people probably do what I do and mainly use their credit card for bigger transactions such as petrol or large food shops. I don't quite understand why so many people are calling it a deal breaker and threatening to leave. Presumably we are all with Tescos as we collect the points...

18-09-15, 12:36maverick808Re: Apple Pay
, that's not right. Firstly, the limit has been £30 since 1st September. The limit is for all wireless payment types across the UK. Apple Pay works wherever contactless/wireless payments work. That is, even if you don't see the Apple Pay logo, if the shop accepts wireless payments then Apple Pay will work. I've done this countless times myself now. However, Apple Pay itself is not limited and if a shop shows the Apple Pay logo then it should not have any limit. Most obvious example is Apple itself where you can walk into an Apple store today and use Apple Pay to buy a £2k laptop if you want. Other shops (e.g. Boots) have already said they do not or will not have a limit in the near future. In short, Apple Pay works wherever contactless payments of any kind are accepted. If the terminals are older ones then there is a £30 limit the same as there is with all other contactless payment methods in the UK, if the terminals are newer then it's up to the individual shops to decide if there is a limit or not, but Apple Pay itself is not limited.

Apologies, so there is a £30 limit then? Presumably that is still considerably lower than each of our weekly food shops though

18-09-15, 13:32maverick808Re: Apple Pay
Easiest way to think about the limit is to flip it so you aren't thinking primarily about Apple Pay, something like... In the UK there is a standard £30 limit on all contactless payments. There are hundreds of contactless payment types, and the default limit for all of them is £30. Apple Pay is one of the many contactless payment types. Unlike some other contactless payment types, Apple Pay allows any retailer to have no limit on transactions, it is up to the retailer whether they use the normal default limit of £30, have no limit, or set their own arbitrary limit. Basically, because Apple Pay is new it is easiest for most retailers to just treat it like all the other contactless payment types so that they can support it straight off the bat. However, we're starting to see more and more retailers taking full advantage of it and I don't see that trajectory changing.

OK, thanks for the explanation. To be fair though, I don't see a massive need for Tescos to introduce Apple Pay until this limit is lifted.

24-09-15, 11:27rncryRe: Apple Pay
I'd also like to +1 supporting Apple Pay. To be honest we may be cancelling our tesco credit card soon as there have been some nasty devious charges recently, no apple pay support is just another nail in the coffin.

I would like to add myself to the list of customers requesting Apple Pay.I have found myself using this with my debit card as its so convenient.The sooner tesco bank can support this the better!
-
29-09-15, 22:16CyranoRe: Apple Pay
Add my support for Apple Pay too.Having a look at other card providers who already provide Apple Pay as this is my must have feature from bank and financial institutions.

02-10-15, 09:28JimmyjamhRe: Apple Pay
Add my support to for Apple Pay.I am seriously considering changing credit cards because of the lack of support.

03-10-15, 08:42jedidavsRe: Apple Pay
I add my name to the list of people wishing to see Apple Pay support for Tesco Credit Card. This is a fast growing market - and Tesco would do well to get in on the action early.
-
03-10-15, 19:54Pedro711Re: Apple Pay
Adding my name to the hundreds of others demanding tesco support Apple Pay within a specific time frame. I've already started using alternative card / bank who do support Apple Pay. If tesco don't join I'll be forced to cancel my account too like so many others.

I shall simply be using another credit card until Apple pay on my Clubcard is live.

08-10-15, 11:05Mcduck1980Re: Apple Pay
TESCO are rolling out contactless to a limited list of stores where average transaction amount is with in the max contactless limit! But I wouldn't imaging it being rolled out company wide until the limits are removed for secure systems like Apple Pay!
-
08-10-15, 17:07timsutcliffeRe: Apple Pay
How long are we looking at for a decision? It's just over 4 months since the first question was asked. I thought a week was a long time to decide something, especially for something this straightforward. Can someone from Tesco try and explain how it's taking so long?
-
09-10-15, 21:09chaddman30Re: Apple Pay
In terms of the £30 contactless limit select retailers have received their terminal upgrades and allow Apple Pay transactions above the system wide ceiling. I know Boots will be limitless from next month; I believe Marks and Spencers, Waitrose and places like Nando's are not subject to the £30 limit.

Any word yet Tesco please? An acknowledgement of the requests at least would be appreciated or say if you're not going to consider Apple Pay. thanks

Hi James, please be assured we are currently looking into Apple Pay but we don't have any more information at the moment. We will update Customers once we have specifics.
Thanks,

I find it insane in this day and age the restrictions companies put in place to stop spending with them. Tescos should have rolled out tap and go terminals in their stores years ago, and Tesco Bank should have been clawing at Apple to be a launch partner for Apple Pay. It doesn't really surprise me the situation they find themselves in with this kind of short sightedness. In the mean time until you support it most of my transactions will go on my other ApplePay supported cards. Lost Revenue for Tesco Bank is the only way to guarantee eventual support.
-
24-10-15, 22:25kristiansuenRe: Apple Pay
The situation for Tesco is pretty urgent actually, as main banks are coming to support Apply pay now. Apply is safer than general contactless payment. Tesco may loose customers only because its short sightseeing. Indeed, Tesco, go and get it!!!

29-10-15, 13:03grantweir41Re: Apple Pay
Come on Tesco. This is what your customers want. Apple Pay would be so useful and would encourage me to use my credit card more often in some circumstances. If clubcard functionality could be added to the wallet that would be brilliant too. Grant

I have already stopped to use Tesco Credit Card.No Apple pay.Also Tesco will reduce Club card point for the credit card soon.Thanks.
-
10-11-15, 10:58chaddman30Re: Apple Pay
Tesco Bank are only reducing Clubcard points for out of store transactions. Whilst it's a shame they've done this it's not their fault; the interchange fee cap implemented by the EU is the reason behind it. It is a shame Apple Pay is still "up in the air" as the likes of TSB and Santander are offering cash back on contactless payments at the moment.
