Google Pay etc

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

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

95% Apple Pay now, I leave 1 bank card in the back of my phone incase ( you know, with that fiver, just incase of emergencies )

most of the car park machines are now app based around here ( all different apps I might add ) and thats all done via apple pay aswell

Keep it, you definitely deserve it.

I prefer to use my credit card as opposed to my debit card, for day to day spending but it won't register with Google pay. I'll carry on using my card until it does.

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.

About two thirds with card, about a third with cash for me.

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.

It's even better abroad because you see what you've paid in a second converted from from Dollar, Euro etc, no foreign transaction charges or need to change money you can also withdraw cash overseas from a cashpoint with no charges. 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.

I haven't noticed you topping up my account. Cheers mate
