Q: Apple Pay
Hello,
Any ideas how you set this up on a 5S for the Watch? I have read the link and it says about going into
- Scroll down and tap Passbook & Apple Pay.
But thats not there, only Passbook is and doesn't give you any options. Am I being premature as its not released here in the UK?
Watch Sport 42mm, iOS 8.4

Hello there, xxymoxx.
From what I'm understanding you are trying to add Apple Pay using your iPhone 5s and new Apple Watch. When you initially posted, you were correct and it had not yet released in the UK. The article was updated on July 14, 2015 and now reflects that new availability:
Set up and use Apple Pay with Apple Watch - Apple Support
Before you begin
Here's what you need to start using Apple Pay:
- Apple Watch paired with iPhone 5 or later
- iOS 8.1 or later on your iPhone in the US or iOS 8.3 or later on your iPhone in the UK
- United States or United Kingdom as your selected region
- An Apple ID signed in to iCloud* (Make sure you're signed in to iCloud on your iPhone and your Apple Watch.)
- Supported credit or debit card from a participating bank
- A passcode on your Apple Watch and Wrist Detection turned on*
Use these steps to set up Apple Pay on your iPhone or iPad.
Set up Apple Pay
Even if you already set up Apple Pay on your iPhone or iPad, you need to add your payment cards to your Apple Watch using the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Unlock your Apple Watch, then use these steps to set up Apple Pay:
- Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone and tap My Watch.
- Scroll down and tap Passbook & Apple Pay.
- Tap Add Credit or Debit Card, then tap Next.
- If you have a supported credit or debit card on file with iTunes, enter the card’s security code. Otherwise, use the camera to capture the information on your credit or debit card. Then fill in any additional information needed, including the card security code.
- Tap Next. Your bank will verify your information and decide if you can add your card to Apple Pay. If they need more information, they'll ask you to provide additional verification. You can verify your card any time after you've added it to the Apple Watch app on iPhone. Just return to the app, tap the card, tap Enter Code, then follow the instructions.
- After your card is verified, tap Next. You'll receive a notification on Apple Watch that your card is ready for Apple Pay. Then you can start using Apple Pay with your Apple Watch.
Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.
Cheers.
