OnePulse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OnePulse is the name of a credit card that is issued by Barclaycard that combines the functionality of Transport for London's Oyster card with a credit card. Barclaycard OnePulse was launched in early September 2007.
Additionally, Barclaycard OnePulse includes the ability to pay for low value items under £10 by waving the card over a touch pad in certain shops in London. Purchases made in shops using either the cashless or standard payment methods are debited directly from the Barclaycard account as opposed to being deducted from the Oyster Pre-Pay account. Approximately 1 in every 10 payments using the wave and pay process will require a PIN to be entered.
Shops participating with cashless payment scheme currently include:
- BOOKS etc.
- Thresher Group
- EAT.
- Krispy Kreme
- YO! Sushi
- Coffee Republic
- Tossed
In addition, many traditional retailers (e.g corner shop operators) now accept the cashless element of OnePulse.
