contactless cards
Wave-to-pay plastic
Contactless cards are payment cards—credit, debit, or transit—that transmit data wirelessly when tapped or held near a reader, rather than swiped or inserted.
The technology uses near-field communication (NFC) or radio-frequency identification (RFID).
Just tap your contactless card and go.
The feature is typically indicated by a symbol of radiating waves.
