Hi, has anyone else in the UK had problems with this company failing to process Apple Pay payments made via their website?

Thank you Jeff. The issue is as follows. I paid for parking with Apple Pay on my iPhone with facial recognition on the firm’s website using the Safari browser, as instructed by the website. I received the immediate response, ‘contacting your bank for payment’, indicating my payment authorisation reached their server. My bank (HSBC) has confirmed they never received the request for payment. Tap2Park have now issued me a penalty and are threatening legal action for non payment despite me giving a full account of what happened, including as much evidence as possible. I’m just wondering if others are in the same position.

No one has indicated an issue with Tap2Park in my recollection. Contacting your bank for authorization means exactly that. The next response is a check mark and tone on your iPhone. The payment method you used (HSBC card) would also have a transaction record. Tap the HSBC card and scroll down to see transactions.


You can review the transaction process in the Apple Support article I linked to below.

You’re welcome!


The best resource for payment issues is the banks app and or website. If it doesn’t show the transaction, it didn’t go through.


Apple Pay doesn’t transfer any of the funds. Apple Pay, through your iPhone and merchants payment network, only transmits and receives data. The data goes to the bank and they approve or decline a transaction and send the data back through the network to your iPhone.


I hope you have a great day.
