What you’ll need to set up Apple Pay

 

To set up Apple Pay and to add your credit card or debit card to Wallet:

• iPhone 6 or above

1. Log in to the app, making sure you have the latest version downloaded
2. On iPhone go to ‘Profile’ > ‘Manage my card’ > Tap the ‘Add to Wallet’ button and follow the on-screen instructions

If you have an Apple Watch linked to your phone, you will be able to select the option on-screen to add the card to your Apple Watch.

Once complete, your card will be available for use within the Apple Wallet.

 

Another way to add your card:

This step will change depending on which model of Apple device you are using:

1. On iPhone open Wallet and tap the 'Plus' icon in the upper-right corner.
   1. On iPad go to 'Settings' > 'Wallet' > 'Apple Pay' > 'Add Card'.

   3. For a Mac with Touch ID go to ‘System Preferences’ > ‘Wallet & Apple Pay’ > ‘Add Card’.
2. If you have a Royal Bank of Scotland credit or debit card registered with iTunes, the details will be retrieved from iTunes. You can proceed to add this card, or you can choose to add a new card.
3. Royal Bank of Scotland will verify your information and will ask you to verify your card using one of the methods described below.

Once complete, your card will be available for use within the Apple Wallet.
