FCA and PSR set out next steps for open banking in the UK

Would someone please explain the difference between VADDs - Variable Amount Direct Debit - and VARPs - Variable Amount Recurring Payments. I have been paying my electricity, gas, water, council tax, etc., by VADDs for at least 40 years and they work perfectly.

FCA to remove £100 contactless limit

I am at a loss to understand why the limit is being removed. It means that if my card is stolen a thief has the ability to use it for large purchases without any proof of identity. This is madness.

Far too small a sample from more than 40 million adults in the UK. Suggest that the writers read the book - How to lie with statistics by Darrell Huff.
