^^ I sense some sarcasm there but not sure why - Applepay is a very good, easy and secure way to pay


Applepay was the example, if you have android then you use AndroidPay - naturally.

Its just that i know how insecure the card methods may be .
I have an Android app that can read many cards without access to the card .Hackers can do even more .
Large amount of cash shopping would not be the norm now would it . Not many carry £500 in the pocket to buy a few items from Tesco .

I am going to buy units for a kitchen tomorrow, should I take thousands in cash

It also depends on if the user's bank is signed up for Apple/Android Pay. (Most are but there are some exceptions).

And why do you have that app??

I have to admit, ApplePay is great. No limit, thumbprint required. I just wish it was accepted in more places.

It's accepted anywhere that takes contactless, which is almost everywhere that takes cards these days.

Friend shopped in large supermarket, did a big shop so had to use her pin. Left shop, got to her car, reached into shoulder bag (which she hadn't zipped up) for her keys - no purse!

So the answer to this conundrum is,.... as soon as the transaction is finished put purse and cards in bag and zip up before you leave the shop. Personally I don't carry a bag, I have zip pockets in my jacket. Oh, and cover your hand when putting pin number in machine. If someone is too close ask them to move away.
