The hi-tech Barclaycard bPay wristbands – as well as key fobs and stickers – will go on sale from Wednesday 
Users can only spend up to £20 a time, rising to £30 from September in line with changes to contactless card limits.
Children can link the devices to their own bank account or that of their parents. 

They must be topped up like a pay-as-you-go phone, but can be set to automatically top up from someone’s bank account if they fall below a certain limit.

Top-ups can also be capped so parents can control their children’s spending.
The devices will be available to anyone with a Visa or MasterCard debit or credit card, not just Barclaycard customers, and can be used at more than 300,000 places in Britain that take contactless payments.

The wristband costs £24.99, the fob is £19.99 and the sticker, which can be placed on a bag or wallet, for example, is £14.99.
Contactless payments, which do not require someone to enter their PIN, have surged as people look for more convenient ways to pay, with more transactions taking place in the first nine months of last year than the previous six years.
Mike Saunders, from Barclaycard, said: ‘We’re in the midst of a sweeping change in the way we pay, with cash-dominated transactions being replaced by touch-and-go contactless technology that has made it easier, safer and faster to make low-value payments.’

      DO NOT let your children wear or use these electronic tracking data-mining devices. You are helping aid in the destruction of yours and your children’s right to privacy, freedom and liberty. REFUSE to take the bait!
