Apple Pay fees and limits

Apple Pay fees and limits

No extra 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 are no limits for Apple Pay transactions you make in apps or in Safari.

There’s usually no limits for other transactions, but some merchants may have their own cap for contactless payments.

If your Tide card is lost or stolen

If your Tide card is lost or stolen

  1. Tap the Support icon > Report fraud to let us know immediately

  2. We'll send you a new card, and allow you to continue using Apple Pay

If you cancel your card yourself and order a new one later, or replace an online card, 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'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.
