Contactless Payments at Trident Honda

We are delighted to announce that our Shell forecourt is now equipped for contactless payments including Apple Pay. Contactless is a fast, easy and secure way to pay, for purchases costing £30 and under. Contactless payments are becoming increasingly common on a range of devices including:

• Pre-paid, debit, charge and credit cards
• Stickers and key fobs
• Wearable devices, such as watches and wristbands
• Mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets

The underlying technology for all of these contactless payment devices is the same. The contactless device contains an antenna so that when it is touched against a contactless terminal, it securely transmits purchase information to and from the terminal. You can tell if you have a contactless card if you see the following contactless indicator on the front or back of your card:

You will also be able to make contactless payments for over £30 if you have a device that supports this. You will need to verify yourself on your device before you can make the contactless payment. For example, if you have a smartphone you may be able to verify yourself through a passcode or your fingerprint on your payment app, and then make a purchase for over £30.

In addition to Contactless payments, our new Chip & Pin machines are very much faster than the machines that they replace, and we very much hope that this will reduce transaction times and minimise the need for queuing.
