Paym is the UK’s mobile payments service that’s offered by TSB and 14 other banks and building societies. It works by linking your mobile number to your bank account. So there are no sort codes or account numbers to remember, and because it’s already within your own banking app, it’s the safe and easy way to pay back friends.
Why use Paym?
There’s no need to ask for sort codes or account details, just use your friend’s mobile number.
It’s safe – Paym shows you the name of the person you are paying, so you can check it before you send a payment.
It’s free to register and free to use.
No downloads needed – it’s already in your mobile banking app.
Make a payment or register directly using your TSB banking app.
