The UK Cards Association has acknowledged that contactless cards have been widely adopted and see a very low rate of fraudulent activity. According to the group, customers with a contactless card spent more in the first six months of 2015 than in the whole of 2014 showing a huge amount of growth.
Transaction volume from contactless cards, according to the association, jumped from £287 million ($441 million) in January to £567 million ($872 million) in June, giving a six-month total of £2.5 billion ($3.8 billion).
Apple Pay was introduced to the UK in July and is available in 250,000 stores with the backing of eight regional banks with more, such as Lloyds, coming soon.
