Confirm online payments using the M&S Banking App
When you’re shopping online you may be asked to confirm it’s you when you check-out and pay.
You can do this using the M&S Banking App.
When paying for your order online, enter your M&S Credit Card details as usual.
Before you can complete the payment, a verification screen will pop up, with instructions on how you can confirm your identity using the M&S Banking App.
First, sign in to the M&S Banking App.
(If you are using a mobile you will need to come out of the checkout screen to open our app.)
A ‘Confirm this payment’ screen will appear*. If the details are correct, tap ‘Confirm’*.
(*If a confirm payment screen does not appear, go to ‘Send money’ and press confirm online payment).
Then verify it’s you by using your face, fingerprint or Digital PASS PIN.
Once you see the ‘Almost there’ screen return to the retailer’s checkout and follow the instructions to complete your order.
You’ll now see a confirmation of your order on the checkout screen.
It’s as simple as that to confirm online payments.

Frequently asked questions
Why have you added in these extra checks and how will they benefit me?
Changes to online card payments have been introduced due to new Payment Services Regulations. This additional level of verification has been designed to help protect you from card fraud, and make it harder for fraudsters to make payments without your knowledge.
