Asda has announced that its Watford petrol station will be going completely cashless this year, meaning only cards or contactless devices can be used.

It comes as the supermarket chain looks to implement a similar policy in 81 other sites across the UK, citing 90% of fuel station payments being made without cash.

Speaking of the move, an Asda spokesperson said: “We can reassure customers that all Asda stores will continue to accept both cash and card payments as normal.

"The majority of customers who use our drive-thru Superstore fuel stations use pay at the pump and over 90% of all payments are made on a card or contactless device.

"More than half of our drive-thru sites are already unmanned and we are moving the remaining colleagues who work in the kiosk into the adjacent store so they can better serve customers.”

The move is set to take place by the end of the summer and comes after a similar change was made in a number of other locations.
