It is looking like Apple Pay is going to be launching a week today and i am trying to find out how this will be activated on UK devices. Surely there won't be an iOS update specifically just for the UK?

Rising to £30 later this year no?

Blame the banks for being backward on the cap, I'm sure once contactless is more established the cap will be raised to something substantial.

Would you really want someone potentially taking your card an using it for an NFC payment over £30? I certainly wouldn't.

I do agree however that there needs to be a cap increase specifically for TouchID payments.

Its not showing on my Passbook. Is this a phased rollout?

EDIT: Rebooted the phone and it appeared.

Tried adding the works AMEX but no joy which is surprising. Natwest is the only one working for me so far.
