The boss of Barclaycard says the plastic credit card is being replaced with new technology, so soon we will need nothing to make a payment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Imagine strolling into your local supermarket, popping your essentials into a basket, heading to the bagging area – where no items are unexpected – and walking out with your weekly shop.<\/p>\n

There is no need to make a payment, no fiddling with coins, and no placement of a debit or credit card in a terminal. In fact, there is no till at all.<\/p>\n

This is not casual shoplifting but a realistic prospect of the future way to pay – when technology recognises your presence, scans your shopping, and invisibly takes payment from your account.<\/p>\n

Amer Sajed, the chief executive of Barclaycard, says it will spell the steady demise of the physical plastic credit card, which his company introduced to the UK 50 years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“People will be able to seamlessly shop going between the web, an app or in store,” he says.<\/p>\n
