Quick, easy payments

Apple Pay is another convenient way to pay with your Lloyds Bank debit or credit card. Using the latest contactless technology, it's a simple, secure way to make everyday payments with your mobile device.


How it works

You can use Apple Pay wherever contactless payments are accepted with an iPhone 6/6+ and later models including the iPhone SE, or Apple Watch. Simply hold your iPhone near the contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID. On Apple Watch, double-click the side button and hold the display of your Apple Watch up to the contactless reader. Most Lloyds Bank debit and credit cards can be used in Apple Pay, however some card restrictions apply.*

You can use Apple Pay to make payments of up to £30 in store or in app. Some retailers will accept payments over £30, but this is dependent on the retailer. We may also put limits in place to protect you from fraud, which can restrict the value or number of payments you can make. Always make sure you have your debit or credit card handy, to use as an alternative method of payment.

You can make in-app purchases using Apple Pay on your iPhone 6/6+ and later models including the iPhone SE, iPad with Touch ID or Apple Watch. Just select Apple Pay as the payment method and double click the side button for Apple Watch or place your finger on Touch ID for iPhone/iPad.

You can also use Apple Pay to make purchases on the web using the Safari browser on your iPhone 6/6+ and later models including the iPhone SE, iPad with Touch ID or Apple Mac. Simply select the Apple Pay as the payment method and then verify either via your iPhone or Apple Watch.

You can check which card corresponds to the Device Account Number within the Wallet app. Because the refund was processed straight to the card, you’ll not see this transaction in your Wallet. However, you’ll still see it in your bank statements as normal.
