Straight from your bank to the shop’s bank, over Faster Payments. Smyl is never in the middle, and nobody sees your bank login.

What are points worth?

Right now 100 points are worth £1. The value can change, and checkout always shows what yours are worth before you approve.

What earns points?

Paying with Pay by Bank at a Smyl shop: 1 point for every whole £1. Cash and card don’t earn points, there’s a daily limit, and points have no cash value. Points rules

Do points expire?

Points expire if you don’t earn or spend any for 12 months. Earning or spending any points starts the 12 months again. The 12 months pause while points can’t be spent anywhere on Smyl. We’ll remind you at least 30 days before.
