You've inferred something beyond that for some reason, but that isn't correct.As another example, there are contactless-only payment terminals (with no chip reader) which will prompt you for a PIN if the card requires it. Still contactless if your card isn't being physically read.2

In the case of the ATM it depends on what 50% you look at.

In the case of the ATM it depends on what 50% you look at.So it'd only be "contactless" if you didn't have to touch it at all?What would you expect the ATM to even do? Spit out a balance slip? Dispense £50 (like the very early days of cash dispensers)?I'm not sure you've thought this definition of yours though.1 -

If they they removed the need for a PIN then I would call that contactless, they could do that if they wanted, but they block it.

doesn't the card in a google or apple wallet use another number not the number printed on the card ?0 -
I think the vendor does too. I registered my debit card on my local bus companies app, and I pay via google pay on yue bus. When i look in the app it has my actual debit card number listed and a linked card number which is the Google pay card number. (It only shows the last four digits rather than the full number)

TheBanker said:The incentive for the banks to develop this is they won't need to issue physical cards any more. Just a virtual card that can be added to your Google/Apple wallet. That would save a huge amount of money and also get them some 'green' credentials for reducing plastic use.
I see cards becoming like chequebooks in the next few years - the physical card will be optional, issued on request rather than automatically. But before that would be accepted by customers there needs to be a solution to withdrawing cash.0 -
