Contactless enabled credit cards can be used at a growing number of outlets throughout the UK including Prêt a Manger, Coffee Republic, Eat, Yo Sushi and a whole host of other independent retailers.Recent research from Barclaycard showed that 98 per cent of contactless cardholders believe that contactless payments are easy to use and 88 per cent claimed that it enabled them to cut down the amount of time they would usually take to buy items such as a coffee.
Amer Sajed, Managing Director UK Cards, Barclaycard said: "Barclaycard is leading the UK's contactless payment revolution. In three years we will have an additional four million customers who will be able to make payments using their contactless card.
"We are dedicated to making our customers' lives easier and are seeing increasing demand for contactless by our customers, who can now make contactless payments at thousands of retailers across the UK."
