Android Tap and Pay in Ireland [Threads Merged]

Arbie

Google Wallet Tap to Pay is supposed to be available in the US only, but I recently got it to work here in Ireland with an Irish phone and an Irish credit card.

I've got a Samsung Note 4 locked to Vodafone Ireland. I've bought a few items with it and it works every time.

I recently tried it in Italy and it say it doesn't work outside the US.

Has anyone else got it to work?

They're a bit odd in that you have to "tap" on the left hand side of the terminal rather than the top, but it works fine for payments over €30 without the till generating a spurious slip requesting a signature.

Love Google Pay. I forgot my wallet yesterday and only realised at the checkout so could use the phone instead. Before that would have been an embarrassing experience.

I was in a couple of Topaz/Circle K places recently where they've upgraded their card terminals, and they now fully support Google Pay/Apple Pay. They're a bit odd in that you have to "tap" on the left hand side of the terminal rather than the top, but it works fine for payments over €30 without the till generating a spurious slip requesting a signature.

One could argue that PTSB aren’t a major bank. Major banks in my mind are BOI, AIB and Ulster which - if the article is correct - will all have google/Apple pay in the near future.

He's usually just a mouth piece for who ever butters his toast. Gets stuff wrong all the time

Good news

The article also claims that BOI is the only major financial institution in Ireland without either Apple Pay or Android Pay, have I missed something or do PTSB have Android or Apple Pay?

Nope, PTSB still don't have it

Yes, I had issues in Topaz and Dunnes on Friday afternoon. Worked again on Saturday so must have been an issue with one of the providers. I'm with aib.

Is it merging your Google Play balance as well? As in, can I use that balance to pay for things in shops?

No

Google Pay is complete separate from Google Play

So got an email today to say that Android Pay is going to become Google Pay. Apart from a new name, wonder if this will change the app in any significant way? Since launched, this has been a godsend for me multiple times (have a habit of forgetting my wallet ), hope they don't mess it up...

It's just a merger. It'll not effect it.

I see Tesco still have not sorted out their tills to accept transactions above €30. I sent them an email to see what their response will be. Surely it just a matter of a software update being pushed out to them. Used it in Topaz on the quays the other day for a full tank of fuel. Very handy when it works.

Unfortnately, while Mr Cleary is warning businesses that don't accept contactless payment that they are losing out, he fails to point our that BOI doesn't appear to have any plans to implement Android Pay or Apple Pay themselves.

BOIPA aren't actually part of the BOI Group, they're a separate company that just use the BOI name (under licence) for marketing purposes. You'd wonder if they even know BOI don't do mobile payments
