This statistic shows the results of a 2016 survey in which respondents in the United Kingdom (UK) were asked if they use contactless payment. The statistic shows by age group who uses the technology the most. Younger respondents use contactless payments most frequently with 58 percent of 18 to 24 year olds and 66 percent of 25 to 34 year olds using the payment method. In relation to age, income also plays a large part in whether a respondent uses contactless payment with a correlation between higher household income and usage frequency. It appears with the results of this survey that the older the respondent is, the less likely they are to use contactless payment, with those aged 65 or older using the technology the least at 36 percent.
