Apple Pay is secure

It's safer than using cash or a debit, credit or prepaid card. This is because every time you use Apple Pay to buy something, the system uses a device-specific number and unique transaction code. Your card number is never stored on your device or Apple’s servers, and never shared with the merchant.

Apple Pay also keeps your purchases private. When you pay with your Tide card via Apple Pay, Apple doesn’t keep transaction information that can link the purchase back to you. You can see transaction information on your Apple device and in your Tide app, but Apple doesn’t store this data on their servers. –

Of course, you need to make sure you protect the security of your Apple device, just as you would with your Tide card.

Add your Tide Card to Apple Pay

At the moment, you can only add your main Tide card to Apple Pay – Expense Cards aren’t supported.

There are several devices you can set it up on:

In the Tide app, tap: Payments > Cards > select the card > Add to Apple Wallet. Then open the Wallet app on your iPhone and tap ‘+’ to add your Tide card

On Apple Watch, open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap: Wallet & Apple Pay > Add Credit or Debit Card

On an iPad, go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Add Credit or Debit Card

For MacBook Pro with Touch ID, open System Preferences > Wallet & Apple Pay > Add Card

To see if you device is compatible, check out the full list from Apple Support.

Apple Pay fees and limits

Fees

Apple Pay is free to set up and use. However, our usual fees apply depending on your Tide plan, when you're paying with your Tide card, including through a digital wallet

Spending limits

There’s usually no limit, but some merchants may have their own cap for contactless payments

There are no limits for Apple Pay transactions you make in apps or in Safari

If your Tide card is lost or stolen

If you lose your card or it gets stolen, tap the Support icon in the upper-right of your Tide to let us know immediately. We'll send you a new one, and allow you to continue using Apple Pay meanwhile

When you receive and activate your new card, the details in your Apple Wallet will update automatically If you cancel your card and order a new one later, replace an online card, or one that’s ‘Lost’ or ‘Stolen’ – you’ll need to manually update your subscription billing details

If you upgrade your Tide plan and receive a black card, or request a new card for any other reason – your subscriptions will be automatically updated with Mastercard's 'Automatic Billing Updater'

If you've frozen your card

If you freeze your Tide card, you won’t be able to use it to pay by Apple Pay on any of your devices

When you unfreeze it, you’ll be able to use it with the digital wallet again – just like before
