"The Apple Pay system enables owners of iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus and Apple watches to pay for goods and services by touching their device on a contactless payment pad.
In most cases, payments are limited to £20, as with existing contactless debit cards. However this limit will be raised to £30 in September.
Barclays launched its pay-by-wristband service last month. Customers can also use a key fob, or a sticker that can be attached to a mobile phone.
The following banks are offering Apple Pay from Tuesday:
NatWest
Nationwide
Royal Bank of Scotland
Ulster Bank
Santander
Five other banks - Bank of Scotland, Halifax, Lloyds, TSB and Marks and Spencer - will launch in the autumn.
HSBC denied that its decision not to participate at launch was last minute, saying that it had not planned to take part. An HSBC spokesperson told the BBC: "We are working hard to bring this to our customers by the end of July.""

Surely a bad idea as anyone who steals your device can start buying endless amounts of items? Or a good idea?
