    I know that some banks have issued, and are issuing, contactless debit cards to customers in Ireland.

    My question - is there such a thing as a contactless credit card?

    It says on the Transport for London Website that you can't use most contactless cards issued outside the UK to pay for a journey, you can only use them to buy tickets and topup an Oyster card.

    Can I use my UK contactless card?

    If your card was issued in the UK on Visa, MasterCard, Maestro or American Express and displays the contactless payment symbol (as shown), you should be able to use it to travel on bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and most National Rail services in London.

    Cards issued outside the UK

    Most contactless payment cards issued outside the UK can be used to buy tickets or top up an Oyster card at touchscreen ticket machines at Tube, DLR and London Overground stations, at ticket offices, and Travel Information Centres, even if they can't be used for contactless travel.
