MOBILE TELCO Orange announced a tie-up with Barclaycard today that will see the pair give their customers a contactless payment card.
so what happens if you wave it around too many times do you end up with multiple transactions?
Judging by the accompanying marketing blather this means that rather than take your card out of your wallet and insert it into some kind of slot, Orange spendaholics will only have to take it out and wave it in the direction of the relevant cashier and paypoint. Presumably this will only save seconds off a transaction, but it looks likely to also help shoppers to fall afoul of payment card skimmers and other under-the-radar ID theft scams.
