Contactless payments aren’t new, as we already have mobile payments that involve our smartphones or an actual debit or credit card.

However, some banks are ready to test a new kind of debit card — one that comes with a fingerprint sensor built into it.
NatWest is going to trial the concept in Great Britain, issuing 200 customers the new high-tech cards. The cards still use NFC technology for payments, like regular ones, but there’s no payment limit, The Verge explains.
