In Poland, people use NFC (PayPass) for years now. People use it everywhere, from little kiosks or local grocery shops to major chain stores. You can even buy yourself a public transportation ticket by swiping your card against a machine inside the tram or bus in some cities.
To pay with your phone, some banks were issuing little NFC stickers that people put on their phonecases. It worked perfectly. Android Pay could have been a really great thing - had it launched 5 years ago.
- viraptor 10y agoThe NFC stickers are not the same thing though. Commbank in Australia does both (paypass in their own app and a sticker). The sticker is always exposed, works with one account only, and doesn't even require authentication. With the app, I can select which account to use, see how much money I have on it, then authorize with pin and pay. I know some people may prefer the sticker only, but I find the app much better.
