The cup has a silicon base with a contactless chip that should be removed for ease of washing. The cups can not only be used to make payments in Costa but anywhere that accepts contactless payments. So how long will it be before you accept your first coffee cup payment?
The cup is powered by Barclaycard's bPay technology, meaning that you can track your spending, top up your balance, and take control to block or cancel the contactless payment element online or using the dedicated app - so you don't need to worry if you've left your cup on the bus!
Jason Cotta, MD, Costa Coffee, says: "Contactless technology has become increasingly prominent in our daily lives and through the launch of the new Costa / Barclaycard Clever Cup we hope to appeal to those tech-savvy customers to help facilitate and drive environmentally friendly behaviour."
Rob Morgan, head, sales and partnerships, Barclays, adds: “Today's shoppers are looking for seamless and 'to hand' ways to pay. Our wearable chip technology allows almost any accessory to be transformed into a smart payment device, unlocking the benefits of speed and ease in everyday purchases."
