Fitbit pay and Nationwide

[J-M-H]

This appears to be a long standing issue for Fitbit users in the UK, however, will you ever add the main stream banks (the ones most people in the UK actually bank with) to fitbit pay? 

It seems like a pointless sales pitch when most of the UK can't actually use the feature.

@J-M-H Fitbit can't add banks. Your bank has to allow Fitbit pay. You'd have to ask your banks to add it.

@TommyIzzo I keep reading this "advice" and can't figure out how the first banks agreed to support FitbitPay when it was released? If Fitbit can't add banks or negotiate joining then who did and added them? Who contacted those banks? For sure not the users, as FitbitPay wasn't a thing yet. Fitbit can negotiate that with banks same as it did for banks available on launch. It just won't.

@J-M-H if you don't use any of those banks that are already supported than rather forget FitbitPay. However, you may open account in supported Starling. It's good bank and has one interesting feature - no fees on transactions abroad (like withdrawals from cashpoints or card payments). This is a good reason to have it as an extra account. My main account is HSBC and until now Fitbit doesn't support it.

@t.parker True. Perhaps I have wrong information. I'm just repeating what I have read on here. Pretty sure community legend @Rich_Laue has posted this information several times.
