With Ireland's first contactless cards due to be issued later this year by Bank of Ireland, convenience store chain Centra have announced that they will install contactless terminals in their stores. That will make them the first Irish retailer to do so. The technology should launch later this year in selected stores, with a full rollout to their 464 stores in 2012. Centra's marketing manager, Tara Glifford, said:
"With the launch of contactless payments, paying for your cup of coffee in the morning or a sandwich for lunch will be easier and faster than ever."
With around one million of the cards being released late this year, other retailers are expected to follow Centra's example.
