No, because it has zero credit on it.

Oyster cards do have credit on them and will continue to have in 2018. It's
just, AIUI, where the information as to the amount of credit is held that
will change, from the card itself to the back office system.

With a consequent slowdown at the gates. Just what's needed in a busy system.
Contactless are already slower than Oyster, this won't improve gate throughput
