How to use Apple Pay
Using the in-built features of a compatible Apple device, make payments safer and faster.
iPhone
Face ID - double-click the side button, glance at your screen, and hold your iPhone near the reader.
Touch ID - hold your iPhone near the reader with your finger on Touch ID.
Apple Watch - double-click the side button and hold your Apple Watch to the contactless reader.
iPhone and iPad within apps - select Apple Pay at checkout and complete the payment using Face ID or Touch ID.
Mac - to pay in Safari, select Apple Pay and complete the payment using your iPhone or Apple Watch.
MacBook Pro - pay using Touch ID on the Touch Bar.
We might occasionally limit the value or number of payments you can make using Apple Pay and ask you to use your card instead. This is just to make sure it’s you making the transaction.
Which devices?
Managing your cards
You can add up to eight cards to any device, change the primary card, update your card information, and remove cards, all within the Wallet app.
Where’s Apple Pay accepted?
Everywhere you can use a contactless card, you can use Apple Pay too. You can also make purchases within participating apps on your iPhone and iPad.
Travelling in London?
Transport for London buses, DLR, Underground, National Rail and MBNA Thames Clippers also accept Apple Pay across their networks.
Keeping track
Apple Pay transactions will appear online and on your monthly statements as normal. Within the Wallet app you’ll also be able to view the most recent transactions made using each card you’ve added to your mobile device. If you used Apple Pay to make a purchase and you’d like to return an item, use the same payment method to receive a refund in store.
Need help?
If you’ve got questions or concerns about a transaction you’ve made with MBNA using Apple Pay, please contact us. Otherwise, for technical help visit the Apple Pay support page.
Is Apple Pay secure?
When you make a purchase, Apple Pay uses a device-specific number and a unique
transaction code. Your full card number is never stored on your device or on Apple
servers, and it can’t be shared with merchants. Apple Pay doesn’t keep transaction
information that can be tied back to you, meaning all purchases are private.1
Reassuringly private
Because you don’t have to present a physical card when you pay, your name, card number and security code are never visible to the cashier.
The card image shown in your Wallet may not be the same as your physical card, so if you’ve added multiple cards, make sure you know which is which.
Each card in your Wallet will display the last four digits of both your Device Account Number and your actual card number so you can tell them apart.
Things to consider
- If you make card purchases, you will pay interest on these transactions, unless you pay your statement balance in full, every month or if you have a retail promotional interest rate of 0% on your account.
- If you’ve got a cash back credit card with MBNA, you’ll earn cash back at your usual rate on Apple Pay transactions.
- Standard network charges may apply. Transactions are subject to your existing MBNA credit card terms and conditions.
