Pay on the go using Monzo with Apple Pay

@anon73683679 I store my full card details in 1Password :slight_smile: that’s a work around.

I would suggest a password manager. Having to access the physical card for info and typing them on websites each time is an unnecessary pain.

Yeah I get that there are workarounds. I could store the details in notes or password manager - this maybe works for others - but if I have a banking app I like and expect for it to do all the banking things I need it to do without having to use workarounds. That’s maybe just me though.

Starling are clearly on to this. So maybe it’s not just me.

I haven’t used my card since Apple Pay but I keep it just in case I need to go back to the time when metal and paper was a thing.

I haven’t used my card since Apple Pay, but still take my wallet with me just in case Apple Pay fails or there is a technical glitch at Apple’s end, for example.

while i was in that there london last weekend my phone ran out of battery and my wallet was in my suitcase so i just kept paying for things with my watch. was super handy

I’d probably guess it was Apple rather than Monzo. I hear they’re very picky when it comes to getting banks on board.

They do. I’ve just spent £95 there using Apple Pay.

Paid £210 using Apple Pay on Thursday in John Lewis.

The woman behind the counter firstly said, “we don’t take Apple Pay.” I pointed at the card reader which had the Apple Pay logo displayed. Woman then said, “what’s Apple Pay?”

:joy:

I went to pay £40 at ASDA using Apple Pay and then had to ask the cashier to remove some items to under £30 and pay in two payments. Ugh ADSA :roll_eyes:

Yeah I had to split my items and go through the till twice once at Asda. They don’t even have an app that you can link your card to and use like Tesco do. Their loss. In Sainsbury’s you can spend over £30.

Yeh it’s great that Sainsbury’s does. Weird a big co like ASDA don’t support higher payments. I paid about £200 in Sainsbury’s not long ago and it was great

With Walmart and Sainsbury’s agreeing a merger I wonder what will happen when ASDA and Sainsbury’s become one (apart from a few branches closing and jobs lost) will they all start taking higher value transactions or all end up with the £30 cap!?

Let’s hope it’s not limited to £30! I only use ASDA online but use the local Morrisons which also has no limit
