It also should be remembered that contactless payment is not an option for
people with non-UK cards (and, for credit control reasons, may continue that
way).

I thought they'd gone a long way to fixing that.

That's still a UK-centric view of the world. What proportion of issuers in
non-UK countries issue contactless cards at all? And how many are
compatible? For example, if I have a China UnionPay card it won't work in
London (AIUI) - it's not just a question of technology but it's a
stored-value card so would need very different processes?
