Set up and use Apple Pay
Why use Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is a useful way to pay with your Bank of Scotland debit or credit card. It lets you make everyday payments with your mobile device, wherever you see the contactless or Apple Pay symbols.
- Safe - Security is our priority. When you use Apple Pay with Bank of Scotland, your card details aren’t shared with retailers, stored on your device or shared with Apple servers.
- Simple - Make secure contactless purchases above or below £100 in shops and online, even without your card. Keep in mind that some retailers may limit individual payments to £100.
- Rewarding - If you're currently getting rewards or benefits with your Bank of Scotland debit or credit card, you'll still be eligible to receive these whenever you make a purchase using Apple Pay. This includes benefits such as Everyday Offers on debit card and credit card purchases.
We might occasionally limit the value or number of payments you can make using Apple Pay and ask you to use your card with the PIN instead. This is just to make sure it’s you making the transaction. Some retailers may also limit payments to £100.
