Ready for Contactless?

It is our aim to keep retailers informed of market developments; helping to prepare for the introduction of this award-winning technology - which is set to transform the way we pay in the UK. Whether you are looking for general information about Contactless, an insight into the benefits for your business, or training materials for your staff, we hope you will find this site useful.

To increase visibility of Contactless acceptance, the major UK card companies have worked together to produce a variety of simple, co-branded point-of-sale material designs for retailers to use. By adopting a common, collective approach it is hoped that we can increase consumers’ familiarity, understanding and awareness of Contactless.

The information provided in this site has been prepared in conjunction with all the UK's major card issuers and card acquiring banks – with the full support of the international payment systems MasterCard and Visa Europe.
