CASHLESSNESS

Shoppers to use fingerprints or eye scans to pay for goods

A "contactless payment" technology, called OnePulse, allows customers to use everyday items they carry around with them - such as mobile phones, key fobs or even their eyes or fingerprints - to make payments. It means shoppers will no longer have to rely on cards.
Barclaycard, which is part of Barclays Bank, has already introduced a new-style cash machine in the United Arab Emirates enabling people to use their fingerprints to withdraw money and shoppers in the UK may soon be able to use the same technology.
