Pay on the go using Monzo with Apple Pay

It was two :smiley: A medium signature collection classic meal with milkshake for me and a sweet chilli chicken wrap meal for my mum. But my milkshake was upgraded to a large for free as they claimed they didn’t have any medium ones! :joy:

Payed fine with Monzo on Apple Pay. For some reason though my Apple Pay transactions are not appearing in the transactions history (from the same device)

Haha old habits, still calling them by their old name :sweat_smile:

A dark day indeed for us Android users. How else are we to gloat over our iOS oppressors?

I don’t think that was ever possible :joy_cat:

Extremely dark day. I guess we will just have to revert back to the default position. How customisational Android is compared to ā€œothersā€.

It works flawlessly on MBP :hot_coral_heart::monzo::hot_coral_heart:

It’s something in between red & coral :blush:

Haven’t used my card since I setup Apple Pay a few days back. I was even able to use it to check into my hotel on Sunday evening!

Yes, I had the same issue with TFL with regard to being charged separately for using my Monzo card on my outbound trip but :green_apple: Pay on the return trip.

It makes sense though precisely because of this. Now I’ve had no issues since by consistently using :green_apple: Pay for TFL trips.

Out of interest, and I understand that Monzo staff won’t be able to say because of NDAs, does any one know if the Apple/Google cut (which I /believe/ for Google is 0.38% of the transaction) is paid by the merchant (i.e. Tescos), the card issuer (Monzo) or is it taken from the interchange fee which would go to the card network (Mastercard)?

Just have to say: it is incredibly sexy

Some new Apple Pay users might find this helpful.

Here is a comprehensive list of stores that accept payments of over £30 with Apple Pay http://contactless.life/retailers/

I’ve been using Apple Pay with Starling comprehensively for the last 6 months. My wallet hasn’t left the house in that time. I can confirm Sainsbury’s definitely allow for purchases over Ā£30. Tesco also do but you must do it via their Tesco+ app rather than Apple Pay ( basically works the same). Tesco are in the process of updating their pay at pump stations so they too will accept contactless payments via pay at pump.

It’s the future people.

John Lewis also take Apple Pay >Ā£30, although it’s showing incorrectly on that page.

Yeah I believe Ikea do now also. Ive seen a few of these lists kicking about online. They are updated as and when users provide info so probably not 100% up to date.

Is this only me… but since Apple Pay was launched I haven’t used my actual card at all! Its all been done on Apple Pay :see_no_evil:

Yep! It’s great not having to take a wallet out with you :raised_hands:

I’ve been using it with Starling for the last 6 months and my wallet hasn’t left the house.

However… Starling allows you to access your actual card numbers and security number via the app. Monzo currently have these details starred out. On occasions without my wallet I have been asked to provide these, particularly when ordering online or on the phone. Wasn’t a problem as I could get them from the app on my phone. However if the same happened while using Monzo you would be stuck and need your wallet and physical card to get these numbers. This can be a real pain if you are far from home or at work and your wallet is at home. I have highlighted this and hope it is something they will change.
