Contactless card payment thresholds are being increased from the current £20 per transaction to £30. Be interested to hear of anyone in the retail world who accepts contactless payments and get their opinion?
Assuming it's good news, speed of flow through the tills, more convenient for consumers, but are there any downsides? Do you pay any extras for receiving contactless payment or is it just part of a normal PDQ machine these days?
With your consumer hat on, is there anyone who refuses to use contactless as an option?
Will confess to being initially sceptical, especially with security scares of people wondering round crowded areas with rogue machines collecting transactions in the early days, but the technology has been around for quite a long time now. Having it in places like pubs and fastfood outlets seems to make sense, especially if you are rubbish at remembering your pin number
