MyTu integrates Apple Pay
MyTU, a fully automated, AI-native and cloud-first digital bank, has introduced Apple Pay integration, a safer, more secure and private way to pay that helps customers avoid handing their payment card to someone else, touching physical buttons or exchanging cash — and uses the power of the iPhone to protect every transaction.

This addition follows the earlier launch of Google Pay and becomes a part of a broader update to the myTU app, which also includes instant card issuance, token management, and improved digital wallet support.
With this integration, customers simply hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a payment terminal to make a contactless payment. Every Apple Pay purchase is secure because it is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, as well as a one-time unique dynamic security code. Apple Pay is accepted in grocery stores, pharmacies, taxis, restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, and many more places. Customers can also use Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad, Apple Pay and Mac to make faster and more convenient purchases in apps or on the web in Safari without having to create accounts or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information.
The updated myTU app supports instant issuance of virtual cards, allowing users to begin spending within minutes, without the need to wait for physical cards. Users can also replace cards without disrupting recurring payments by maintaining merchant tokens and block tokens to halt specific merchant transactions that are ideal for managing online subscriptions.
Tomas Navickas, CTO and Co-founder of myTU, said: 'As an AI-native and cloud-first bank, we focus on building services that reflect how people actually live and work today. The integration of Apple Pay is part of our commitment to practical, customer-focused banking solutions. It simplifies everyday payments and complements our wider effort to give clients more control, faster access, and better security in managing their finances. This is a natural step in our evolution toward a more digital and efficient banking experience.'
The upgraded myTU app also supports merchants that use tokenized billing, helping to maintain continuity even when card details change. For users, this means services such as streaming subscriptions or memberships can continue uninterrupted after a card update.
For those who still prefer a plastic card, myTU app allows them to order one separately, only when needed. This separation of virtual and physical card issuance reflects a shift towards more flexible and digital first banking.

Heathrow boss should never have had phone on silent, says Virgin Atlantic chief
The chief executive of Virgin Atlantic has hit out at the boss of Heathrow for muting his phone while he slept as a fire broke out at the airport, leading to thousands of delayed and cancelled flights. Shai Weiss said as the head of an airline he would 'never' put his phone on silent because the job required round the clock attention. Last week an internal report into the incident found Thomas Woldbye, who was paid £3.2m last year, was uncontactable for the first seven hours of the airport's shutdown because his phone had been switched to silent mode before he went to sleep. Speaking at an airline industry event, Mr Weiss said: 'The last time I put my phone on silent when running an airline was – never. I think all of my colleagues would share that observation. 'This is a 24/7 job and safety and security are the number one priority.' Mr Woldbye also came under fire from Sir Tim Clark, the Emirates Airline chief, who said that Heathrow had been 'caught short' by the outage that created such turmoil on March 31. He said: 'They were floundering around trying to think what had actually happened. 'It ranged from sabotage by a foreign actor to a meltdown at a substation through to mice running around and doing all sorts. 'Nobody really had any idea. That was a bit of a shock. If they haven't learned from that they never will.' Sir Tim said it had come as a shock to him that Heathrow had no supplementary power supply that would kick in when the outage hit. He said Emirates employees 'have eyes on every single aspect of our operation 24/7. 'We've learnt from our mistakes. We never close our eyes. If we did we'd be in trouble. Insurrection, coup, fire or whatever it may be. It happens all the time.' Willie Walsh, chief executive of the International Air Transport Association, said the shutdown of Heathrow had undermined Labour's bid to restore Britain's status as a major economic force. He said: 'The fact remains that a single point of failure brought the country's global connectivity to a halt. A government that promotes 'a Britain back on the world stage' should understand how unacceptable such a vulnerability is. 'It cannot be 'Britain's back, provided there's power.'' Airlines expect compensation Mr Weiss said he expects Heathrow to begin compensating airlines for the cost of the outage now that an inquiry commissioned by the airport, and led by former transport secretary Ruth Kelly, has published its findings. He said that the disruption 'cost a lot of money' and that Virgin and other airlines had been 'very clear' with Heathrow management about their expectations regarding compensation. Mr Weiss added: 'We have put in a request and we expect them to do the right thing. We agreed with them to hear some responses from the Kelly report and others, which have recently been published. But once the dust settles, our bill is coming.' Mr Weiss previously said that had he been in Mr Woldbye's position he would have 'rushed to the airport at that moment. All CEOs are geared for that.' It was initially reported that Mr Woldbye went to bed at around 12.30am having been made aware of the fire, leaving the decision to close the airport to his deputy, Javier Echave. The Kelly report said that was not the case and that he had retired to bed unaware of the situation and 'was not involved' in the decision to shut down for 24 hours. Alerts known as F24 alarms were sent to Mr Woldbye's mobile at 00:21 and 01:52 to activate emergency procedures and Mr Echave tried to call him several times. The report said: 'Mr Woldbye first became aware of the incident at approximately 06:45 on March 21, and received a debrief from Mr Echave.'

Car Deal of the Day: new Omoda 5, with all the kit you might need, for less than £200 per month
Distinctive-looking family SUV Range-topping model with extensive kit list £193 per month with £2,675 initial payment The Omoda 5 arrived in the UK just last year, in the hope of tempting customers away from the ever-popular Nissan Qashqai by going big on value. That's especially true now, because you can get a range-topping model of the rather snazzy-looking SUV for less than £200 per month through the Auto Express Find A Car service. This two-year lease deal we found for the new petrol Omoda 5 Noble comes from Leasing Options and it requires an initial payment of £2,675, followed by monthly payments of £193. The deal is based on a 5,000-mile annual limit, which should be plenty if you're just pottering around town, but bumping it up to 8,000 miles per year costs less than an extra £20 per month. Advertisement - Article continues below In top-flight Noble trim, the Omoda 5 features dual 10.25-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an eight-speaker Sony sound system, 50W wireless charging pad, a sunroof, a powered tailgate, heated seats, heated steering wheel and keyless entry. On top of all that, you also get a well equipped driver-assistance suite, including a 360-degree surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection and traffic-jam assist. Meanwhile, under the bonnet is a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine that produces 183bhp and 275Nm of torque, and is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It's not the most powerful car in its class, but has enough oomph to get from 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds. Although the car does without any level of hybrid assistance, Omoda says you'll average up to 31.4mpg at best. The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Find A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car retailers and leasing companies around the UK. Terms and conditions apply, while prices and offers are subject to change and limited availability.

Transfer news LIVE: Gakpo ‘eyed by Bayern', Rodrygo makes U-TURN, Cherki ‘wants City move', Chelsea close in on Delap
Benjamin Sesko latest According to Sky in Germany, Andrea Berta and Marcel Schafer held a secret meeting in regards to Benjamin Sesko. As mentioned before, Benjamin Sesko is now the No1 target for Arsenal this summer, with Leipzig looking to get the deal over the line as soon as possible. The Gunners will be in no rush to acquire Sesko, with other clubs seemingly backing off, or looking at other options. With that said, the Gunners, according to reports, have a verbal agreement with the Swede ahead of any deal this summer. Leipzig's Sesko will cost Arsenal around £70 million, with Gyokeres coming in somewhere between the £60-90 million region, with reports all suggesting Sporting CP want a different price.
