Paying for goods and services

Paying for things when you're out and about can be a challenge if you're unable to see how much cash you're handing over. It is also difficult if you can't see how much change you're receiving.

There are products and useful hints and tips which can make this easier. There are also a range of options available to you if you'd like to pay using a debit or credit card.

This section covers:

  • handling cash

  • using debit and credit cards

  • 'chip and PIN' and 'chip and signature' cards
