This isn't the case for all issuers.

Could you name one or two issuers who don't require PIN input before allowing for contactless use?

Unless cards are handed over at a branch, how do they know that the cards are in the right hands?

i understand that it is Chino.
they have to verify that the card is in the right hands.

What evidence leads you to this understanding?

For example, Barclaycard do not require a chip and PIN transaction before allowing a contactless transaction (at least, in my experience - other cardholders' experience may be different).

If the retailer has up-to-date software and hardware there is actually no limit for contactless.

Apple Store is an example of this unlimited contactless.

Pret a Manger have a self-imposed contactss limit of £50.

The £30 (previously £20) is for those retailers who are using old hardware & software.

I hate places which don't accept contactless. C&P seems so slow!

Thanks for the info with my question.

That's interesting GB
My only concern with it is that it seems a lot of retailers seem to work on the basis that if you pay by contact less you don't want/need a receipt😖

I have a Lloyds debit card which is contactless
I did wonder if you lost your card and someone else found it does that
not mean they could go into a shop and use it as I have not used mine yet

planteria

if it hasn't verified it should be safe.. don't lose it though;)
