No Barclays support, no good.

Shame I thought Natwest would jump at it like they did for Apple pay

Having no natwest support is actually a good thing. Their IT systems are a joke! Would you trust them with this....hell NO!

NatWest have been updating their application so expect them to have their own payment system. They added fingerprint API yesterday.

Pretty much all banks are running on antiquated IT systems held together with chewing gum and sticky tape, NatWest don't stand out as having any more IT issues than any other high street bank.

Yeah my Halifax has just gone through.

Unfortunately it doesn't work on the S7 if you have condensed display scaling enabled.. Natwest thinks that's a security compromise apparently. Not sure if they will change that.

Fingerprint login doesn't work (disabled) on a rooted phone

Can you not set it to prompt you which payment method to use? Or do you have to move the card you want to pay with into the default position before paying?

Never had a problem with NatWests online service, the only app that will work on a rooted phone too afaik.

Good job I have no interest in finger print scanners too!

NatWest fingerprint login works perfect on my 6P - just wish they'd add android pay!

Cosimo · 18 May 2016 at 10:17

NatWest and Barclays are the banks I use, and typically neither are supported!

The Barclaycard app did tell me that I can use their app with NFC for payment though, that was a few days ago.

xb8browney · 18 May 2016 at 10:22

Doesn't work with any of the cards I use.

exact same for me. i already use barclaycard, but tbh i'd rather move over to android pay as then not only can i use more cards (if they all join android pay that is), but i can get rid of that stupid barclaycard notification that's constantly there telling the world the phone is contact payment enabeld. I ****ing hate that constant forced notification.

Most won't even let login when rooted

Fairly sure the answer is no said:

If you are on 6.0.1 you can block it.

Unsurprisingly not supported on the N preview. Yet....

Oh well, Santander haven't got their act together yet anyway.
