I find contactless extremely useful. I don't even use my card that much, just Apple Pay on my phone. It's quick and easy.

The biggest problem at the moment would be people who struggle to get bank accounts or are otherwise vulnerable and don't have access to a card. Homeless people and those with mental health problems.
Companies love people like you. You mainly use Apple Pay what do you think Apple does with that infomation now? Your buying habits are sold on to other companies, would it be that hard for the Government to get that information also?
