Are there any credit cards in the #UK that don’t place an artificial limit on the size of #ApplePay transactions?

My bank limits to an aggregate £300 per day and freezes the card if you go over it. Which is total bullshit when there’s no limit on the demonstrably-less-secure physical card. Took three phone calls to their security department just to admit it was them and not Apple or the clearing house 🙄

"Digital ID joins up your NI, NHS number, driving licence, Government gateway ID etc to tidy things up. It’s easy to say ‘omg 1984’ but the reality is this is normal stuff for a modern country. And using it to prove eligibility for NHS treatment...is pretty sensible if that comes." (Comment on BBC News website)

So now you can die like a dog in a ditch unless you can prove who you are? What a "compassionate country".

Fuck y'all who vote.
