The fastest card payments in the UK



The new way to pay is here ! With OneTouch contactless payments.
Now, it’s no problem if your customers don’t have enough cash on them for their morning coffee or a newspaper. For them or for you. Because the lightning quick, card payment technology from Barclaycard Business is here. It’s called OneTouch, and it means that your customers can normally pay you in less than a second, completely securely, for anything that costs £10 and under. So you can say goodbye to long queues and they can say goodbye to standing in them.
How does it work?
- Any debit or credit card with the Wave symbol shown above can be used to pay for goods of £10 and under.
- The cardholder simply touches their card to the reader and the payment is made
- The OneTouch™ transaction is processed through the same secure network as chip and PIN
- The whole transaction is complete in under a second
It’s estimated that over 5 million contactless cards will be in circulation by the end of 2008. You will be able to use your contactless card for cashless payments in these stores and more shortly.
OneTouch is a trademark of Barclaycard Business.
