Sounds like there's national issues that need to be sorted rather than contactless being the problem. I used Monzo MasterCard issued in the UK in South Africa with no issues the other year. Also as I noted, in the UK you can't be "unbanked" as such. You can lose an account with special stipulations like what happened to Farage the other week, but they all have to offer basic accounts.
