BP/Aral to launch contactless payments in UK, Germany and Switzerland

Consumers will soon be able to use their contactless cards in more than 4,000 petrol stations in the UK, Switzerland and Germany. Mastercard PayPass terminals are to be installed in BP and Aral sites over the next two years.

With the upgrades in place, users will be able to buy petrol, snacks and other items by simply tapping their contactless card on the special readers. However, these transactions are currently limited to £15 in the UK, 25 Euros in Germany and 40 Francs in Switzerland. The same cards can be used for larger payments but a signature or PIN code will be required.
