Well, they took their time, but it’s happened – Android Pay now works for NatWest customers. We heard reports from a couple of our readers that they received an email from NatWest to announce that Android users can finally use Google Pay at tills and checkouts across the UK. The Android Pay app itself has been downloadable in the UK for some time, but the roll-out of banks supporting the solution itself has been unsurprisingly slow. Until now. Look, NatWest has even created a helpful video to help their customers understand the wonder of tap to pay… Because obviously they haven’t rolled out the exact same thing to their credit and debit cards, and likely Apple iPhone users. No, wait. That’s the exact thing they’ve already done. Silly me.

Well, wait now more.
The bank also delivered a helpful set of instructions on how the whole thing works. Enjoy.
