The rollout of Contactless technology involves the competitive launch of different products - Visa payWave and MasterCard® PayPass™ - by a number of UK card issuers and acquirers.
The Contactless rollout is not being centrally managed in the same way as chip and PIN, therefore, there is no central programme or press office for the rollout of Contactless cards in the UK.
