Still a 30 quid limit. Useless for almost all tradesmens jobs anyway.

Apple/Android Pay don't have that limit.

Big deal. How many people use those? Or would even want to frankly.

Getting back to transport (sorry about that) I was intending to try
out Android Pay on TfL, but neither of the cards I was proposing to
associate with the App were acceptable.

In a sense odd, because using the cards natively contactless is fine.
Must be that lack-of-30quid limit when laundered through Android Pay
that's making the bank nervous. And frankly, me too.


Handing over random access to my bank account to Apple or Google makes me
very nervous which is why I'd never do it. Its bad enough when a direct
debit
goes wrong but at least they're usually only once a month.


your direct debits go wrong once a month

that's unlucky


Don't worry, I'm sure those payment systems will never go wrong and apple and
google won't do anything with your data, just like their spyware voice
activation systems don't store everything you say to them on a central
server to be use for their own purposes.
