cardless
Tap without wallet
Cardless describes transactions, access, or services that don't require a physical card.
ATMs increasingly offer cardless withdrawals using smartphone apps or codes, and cardless payment systems let you tap your phone instead of swiping plastic.
The bank promoted its new cardless ATM feature.
The term applies broadly to any situation where a card would traditionally be expected but isn't needed.
