Do you just pay with your debit or credit cards on your phone or do you use Google pay or apple depending on your device?
Nobody answer, it could be a scam.
Bit seriously, I use PayPal pal.
Dunno why but I'm a bit suspicious of all these other ways of transferring money
Just leave cash on the bedside table.
thanks for that, I'll drop your change around laterQuote:

Keep it, you definitely deserve it.Quote:

Gpay, works fine for me but be aware technology fails sometimes, so as someone said above, always have a fiver and a card in your back pocket for emergencies.
Generally just pay with my credit card direct. But I do have it linked up to google pay which I can use on my watch which has got me out of trouble before when I've forgotten my physical cards. I don't carry cash and I don't really carry a wallet - just a small metal card holder. Haven't done so for well over a decade.

I don't have any bank details on my phone. I struggle to see the benefit of that as opposed to just taking your card out? Can anyone enlighten me?
Yes i mostly use apple pay through the apple watch so quick so simple, I use it with a Monzo account which bleeps the instant you pay so you can check how much and that the transaction has definitely taken place.Quote:

The app is the most user friendly banking app, I would definitely recommend, although Starling is supposed to be very good with similar features too :thumbup:
I sometimes use google pay for online shopping from the desk PC, that is also pretty good, I've had no problems with either.
I think the days of cash are numbered possibly ten years or less?
I use transferring between accounts, your own and others. Useful (or not!) for topping up the kids at ridiculous hours.Quote:

We clicked 'pay' and it then took us to another site asking for payment details again. ! the web address didn't look right so I just logged off. Later kept getting emails from several different 'payment' sites asking to "complete purchase".
Their website had obviously been hacked but virtually impossible to contact them by phone to let them know. I'm not that IT savvy, but I spotted it, though I doubt many would have/

I’ve always had a Samsung and found google pay useless and only worked with certain banks.
I’ve recently changed to iPhone for the first time in about 10 years and Apple Pay is so much easier. I’m paying a lot more on my phone now. Not sure it’s much easier than getting a card out but the younger members in work don’t carry a purse/cards at all now.
I get the same vibeQuote:
