The Halifax bank is enrolling unsuspecting customers in trials of a new generation of RFID-enabled bank cards, and trying to keep them in the program even if they have mis-givings about the wave and pay technology.
PayWave allows punters to debit their account without having to enter a PIN or sign for goods valued at less than �10.
The RFID-based technology, backed by Visa, is being rolled out by UK banks Barclays and Halifax, as well as others on the continent. Mastercard is backing a similar technology called PayPass.
Halifax is introducing the technology in London to a number of punters, including Reg reader Pete.
This seems like an incredibly bad idea.
