mobile pay

Mobile pay is a system for making purchases using a smartphone or other portable device instead of cash or physical cards.

The phone stores payment credentials and transmits them wirelessly at checkout: I forgot my wallet but paid with mobile pay.

Also called mobile payment or contactless payment.
