Contactless payments
Make small payments without using your PIN.
Benefits
Contactless cards are designed to make your life that little bit easier. You can make payments of up to £100 without using your PIN, wherever you see the contactless symbol.
All you need is your bank card with the same symbol, and you can just tap to pay. It's useful if you make small purchases, or are sometimes unsure of your PIN. Many shops, restaurants, and businesses have contactless reader devices, which make transactions faster and smoother. You'll still need to use your PIN for payments over £100 and where contactless is not available.
Service
Mobile payments
Available on compatible iOS and Android mobile devices.
Benefits
Make contactless payments with your Halifax debit or credit card using just your mobile. With Apple Pay and Google Pay you can buy things in shops, or make in-app purchases. It's simple, safe and secure - and means you don't always need your card or PIN with you. Card and device restrictions may apply, so be sure to find out more.
Service
Pay a contact

You can pay people with our mobile app. It's a fuss-free way to split a restaurant bill, or get paid back something you’re owed. And it means you don't need to be getting out your cash in public, or swapping sort codes and account numbers.
