Contactless payment technology is becoming an increasingly popular way of purchasing things.

At the moment, users of contactless cards need to input their PIN if making purchases over £30. In certain circumstances people using contactless payment technology, such as a smartphone, can exceed this limit. NatWest's new card will contain a customer's fingerprint data and a sensor. To authorize a payment over £30, users place their finger on the sensor.
"We are using the very latest technology across our business to make banking easier for our customers and biometric fingerprint cards are one of the many technologies we are exploring further," David Crawford, head of effortless payments at NatWest, said in a statement.
