    yes they have, on credit cards only though.

    So were hoping when they do release it in the south that that the include credit and debit accounts,Not just keeping it to credit card accounts.

    I've been using Apple Pay in the south for the past couple of months. I have a uk Halifax card linked to it but it does work down here.

    In the south, as in Cork or Kerry? Strange that it can't be done in the rest of the country.

    Apple Pay will work on most if not all NFC enabled card machines so if you have an eligible bank you're sorted.

    Have ulster bank ever released contactless payment cards in the south? I know they have in the north but theirs nothing on my southern debit card. Ulster bank ireland seem to be very far behind in this technology that i find we could be waiting awhile for apple pay :( Hope im wrong.

    The majority of their ATM machine displays are still monochrome in 2015
    Very far behind

    The south as in the republic. Specifically, Dublin. But it works anywhere in the country as long as you have a uk card linked to the Apple Pay account. Irish banks haven't signed up yet.

    Thats correct, A few of there banks still use the monochrome machines, But to our advantage, The app is one off the best banking apps around(Speaking to friends on other banks) so hope this continues onto apple pay.

    Tim Cook was in Dublin today and apparently promised that Ireland will be getting Apple Pay.

    CEO Tim Cook, who is in Dublin today, said that “Apple is proud to call Ireland home.” He also promised that Apple Pay would be coming to Ireland, which is a separate country to the UK.

    ...just in case you forgot or, probably like most in the US just didn't know.

    I know we're are a bit sensitive about that over here, but it's not unusual to encounter people broad who are unclear about exactly what comprises the UK. Hell, even Irish people in my experience aren't too sure. They know we aren't part of the UK but that's about it.

    Whatever about that 9to5mac writer's primary school geography lesson, hopefully we see it in the next 12 months along with less restricted limits at pay-point terminals.

    The limit for contactless payments was increased in the last budget. It's up to €30. Not sure when it comes in though.

    Start of November. It's in.

    But it's up to the terminal's software to allow higher payments for Apple Pay if it wants to.

    Does Apple Pay appear in wallet despite not being launched here? I have an iPhone 5S and know that it isn't compatible with Apple Pay, but also have an Apple Watch and it should be compatible with Apple Pay and 5S.

    Yes it will appear in your wallet app and in settings if you change the following to UK:

    You'll need a UK address to fully install it in the wallet.

    Not true. I set up an NI Ulster Bank card without a UK address.

    you don't need an address at all. all you need is a credit/debit card that has been issued by an Apple Pay supported issuer. Ulster Bank in NI will work, Ulster Bank ROI will not.

    here's the supported list of banks/issuers https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204916

    You cannot install a RoI Ulster Bank card in Apple Pay without a UK address. Of course you can install an NI one, that's obvious.

    Go through the set up and see.

    You seem confused - you can't set up an ROI card with _any_ address. But it is still untrue to state that you need a UK address to set up a card that is actually supported by Apple Pay - at least for UB cards.

    Irish Tesco credit cards are not supported either. Tbh I was quite surprised the UK Tesco cards were on it at all, they are just like the Irish cards 10 years behind other banks. It's 2016 and my Tesco credit card still hasn't got contactless payment.

    I don't think any do. Isn't it only a Debit Card feature?

    Credit cards in the UK / US have it, haven't seen any Irish ones with it though yet.
