Any large amounts I aways pay with online banking.  It's fast and you know exactly which bank account you are paying into.

Er... no. Get one digit wrong and you've paid the wrong person and may or may not be able to get it back. OK so after many years they will finally confirm the name on the account but the only time I've tried it didn't match and it didn't tell what name it was so I couldn't check. Limit of £30,000 from my bank so no good for anything properly big.

For those who love games but prefer to avoid real money transactions, there is a solution. It is a game that uses only in-game credits. It is a fun way to pass the time without financial risk. Sometimes the old ways are the best.

My bank told me it could be up to 10 times before it asks for the pin for a contactless card so you could lose up to £450 if you haven't reported the card lost or stolen.

That’s a good point! It’s scary how easily small mistakes can cause big losses. Banks really should improve verification and security around transfers and contactless payments!

Some fairs do have a card system if the wifi is strong enough.

DH tried to pay a bill by card directly to a bank account last week but it kept bouncing, it turned out that the seller had put the wrong codes in

I heard part of Jeremy's discussion on keeping cash to hand, after the power outage across Spain and Portugal.  Although when Tills go down we are advised to leave the baskets ...... to avoid theft I suppose.
