Contactless payment is a secure and convenient way of paying for goods and services with a smartphone, debit card, or credit card that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and near-field communication (NFC). Contactless payment works by tapping or waving the payment device over a point-of-sale terminal. It reduces transaction time with a single tap rather than entering the PIN or handling cash.
