Contactless payment goes live at Wembley Arena

According to eventmagazine.co.uk,Barclayard has officially introduced contactless payments at London’s Wembley Arena.They had set up more than 100 contactless terminals at Wembley Arena,which will allow purchases for customers up to £15 with a simple tap of their credit or debit cards against a reader at the point of sale.

The fresh system also allows Barclaycard customers to use the venue’s ‘fast track’ entrance, access the Barclaycard Unwind Lounge and get advanced tickets for future events, says eventmagazine.co.uk.

“The music and leisure industry is a fantastic opportunity for contactless, freeing concert-goers from the worry of carrying a wallet or having the correct change,” said Barclaycard head of UK Global Payment Acceptance Stuart Neal. “There’s definitely scope for the implementation of contactless technology across festivals over the coming years - such as that used at Wireless this summer.”
