    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.

    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

    Send or receive money with just a mobile number, instead of account details.

    Benefits

    Pay a Contact is the simple and safe way to pay friends or family – without needing cash or account details. 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.

    At Halifax, we're also putting in Talking ATMs as we replace older cash machines. With a Talking ATM you can plug in your headphones and listen to instructions to help you do your banking. And if you plug in your headphones first of all, you’ll hear a message that guides you to the card slot and PIN pad.

    When using an ATM, always shield your PIN to stop anyone seeing it and don’t be distracted by others. If you notice anyone acting suspiciously, please do not use the machine and contact your nearest branch or the police.
