To begin, set up your payment
- First, log in to the app, and tap 'Pay & Transfer'. Here you can select the account you want to pay the money from.
- Then, tap 'Pay a saved payee'.
- Now, decide how much you want to transfer, and enter an optional payment reference.
- Once you've done this, tap 'Continue'.
Next, confirm the details of your payment
- You'll be taken to the 'Confirm details' page, where you can review the payment details. If something's not right, you can tap 'Edit' to make changes. If the details are correct, tap 'Confirm and pay'.
- Once you've tapped 'Confirm and pay', you'll need to authenticate the payment by using Face ID, Touch ID or biometrics, or by entering your 6-digit passnumber.
- We'll then process your payment request.
Finally, check if your payment has been successful
-
If your payment is successful
If successful, you'll see a confirmation message saying that your payment request has been sent.
When you've finished making your payment, you can tap 'Return to my accounts' to go back to the main screen.

If your payment is unsuccessful
If you've tried to make a payment and it was unsuccessful, we recommend trying again. There are a number of reasons why a payment might be unsuccessful – you can find out more and get extra support in our money transfers guide.
