Isn’t contactless so much easier! I do find quite a few places still don’t do it. My Monzo card has failed with contactless but chat fixed that.
If we could leave cash behind I would be a very happy man.
I’m shocked that the UK is only 42%
But I guess this is some of the big stores? I know a few of them refused to move over.
It’s coming! And the sooner the better.
No, it’s not really that. It’s the Daily Mail generation believing that Contactless is bad and dangerous and contactless == your money will get stolen. Source: worked in retail
