    1. I can sort of see it. There is nothing in the app for me, but it does appear in the ‘Tap & Pay’ section in Settings

      1. Same actually but the HSBC app has had that for about a year and no actual payment facility! I read this as some users would be able to actually pay with it

          1. Ahh didn’t know that. I only got my Barclaycard a few weeks ago when I heard of this functionality, so that’s why I only just noticed it was in this section

          2. Well you’re right it is new for Barclaycard 🙂 Vodafone wallet is the only current android scheme I know of in the UK and it only has 1 prepaid card available. Although apparently launching add your own mastercard before Xmas! Sadly you need to be on Vodafone to get it as it uses the sim not hce
