Britain has become a "cash-second" nation, claims Visa Europe, which saw an explosion in contactless payments drive an 11.5% rise in the number of transactions it recorded in the country last year. In a year when more UK payments were made electronically than with cash for the first time, Visa Europe saw point-of-sale spend rise 9.6%. More than £1 in every £3 spent in the country is now on a Visa card.
