Hi

Just wondering if contactless payments are readily available in most places please?
(due to the numerous posts re muggings/bag snatches I’m thinking of buying a contactless ring or bracelet to save carrying cards or cash)

Never heard of a contactless ring or bracelet.

Yeah you can buy a ring, bracket or key ring pad (google as various sites offer) which is chipped. Not sure exactly how you set it up but believe you load up from your bank account what ever amount you want stored on it. The limit outwith the UK for a single transaction is up to £100 where it’s only £30 in UK. You simply tap the ring on or very near the contactless screen. So hence no need to carry cash or cards. One in the eye for would be muggers too 😆
