Yeh, I’ve used contactless for years in the UK, but it’s limited to transactions under £30. Being able to use your phone and not fumble fir your wallet irrespective of transaction size is really quite nice.

this seems a limitation on your side (bank?), I've used contactless for larger expenses in other parts of Europe without issues (inserting a PIN).

Its a general limitation imposed by the payment processors on contactless in the UK.
