Contactless card payments in supermarkets are changing amid coronavirus lockdown
Reading now: 750
With most UK supermarkets and shops perferring card payments over cash during the coronavirus crisis, the majority of shoppers have turned to contactless.
It's the safest and most hygienic method of payment as it completely eliminates the need to touch a PIN pad. The limit for debit and credit cards sits at £35 - something which has proven a problem for those trying to pay for larger shops to reduce the number of trips to the shops.
From next week, the limit will rise from £30 to £45 for a single transaction in some shops, making it easier for shoppers to pay for their goods in a single payment.
