People are staying on the cashless debit card. You've just heard it. All that's happening here is it's just getting relabelled. It is currently a silver-coloured card. Maybe there will be a new picture. You might be able to get your face on it, or you might be able to get it printed with some pretty colours or something. I don't know. But you've just revealed to us that it's the same thing.
