Excitement and concerns over credit card plans in Jersey

Sarah Jackson, who works at coffee and pizza shop Red House, said she was hopeful the change could help people spend money at businesses.

She said “anything that can help bring money into the island is always important” and “having credit cards gives us another option for payment here”.

“I think it depends how obvious the opt-out option is if it’s something that’s very clearly stated and everyone knows when they’re up for it then good,” Jackson said.

“As long as everything’s regulated and following a certain procedure and you’ve chosen exactly what data you want shared then I’m sure it’s fine for people in general.”

Those who do not want their personal data shared can email customerservice@gov.je with subject header “OPT OUT” along with their full name, address and date of birth, or phone 01534 444444 and select option 6.
