No Touching: Contact Free Payment Options

The behaviour around not using cash to pay for your day-to-day is being reinforced.

The use of cash has sharply declined in recent years. Since the Covid-19 crisis started, we’ve seen a lot of shops stop taking cash, to minimise the risk of spreading infection – embedding further the behaviour of consumers to Contactless payments.
