Cash was 8% of all UK payments in 2025, down from 17% in 2020. 39% of all UK payments were contactless in 2025. (UK Finance, UK Payment Markets 2026.) Not taking cards means turning some customers away.

Can customers pay a large deposit on a classic car by card?
Yes, by chip and PIN above the £100 contactless limit. On a £10,000 deposit Flatpay's 1.49% terminal rate is £149, the same whatever the card.
