I'm unsure how paying with your phone is any more convenient. Sure the wallet requires you to open your wallet, but is that too much effort? I'd rather just pay

I'm unsure how paying with your phone is any more convenient. Sure the wallet requires you to open your wallet, but is that too much effort? I'd rather just pay in cash.
Pocket > Phone > Double Tap pay button -> Tap
Pocket > Open Wallet > Take card out -> Tap
I suppose it's may be more convenient carrying just your phone and not your wallet but I prefer both. Or does America not have tappable Chip&Pin yet?
- stavros 1y agoI don't carry a wallet and I'm not in the US, and I use NFC whenever I do carry a card.
- doublerabbit 1y agoApologizes for the assumption. I have yet to find anywhere here in Scotland that uses NFC practically other than billboards.
- stavros 1y agoReally? Even in England everything is just tap. I have an Android phone, so my flow is "take phone out of pocket -> tap" (because it's already unlocked by fingerprint by the time it comes out). That's basically the same as with the wallet, I just don't carry the wallet.
- daveoc64 1y agoI can't think of a single retailer in the UK that takes card payments, but doesn't support contactless (including Google Pay and Apple Pay). Ignoring very small shops that don't take cards at all.
- doublerabbit 1y agoAre the tap&pay NFC? -- I thought it was different tech under the hood. What I meant is that I've not seen any other use for NFC apart from bus station adverts?
- daveoc64 1y ago>Are the tap&pay NFC? -- I thought it was different tech under the hood. Yes, it's a form of NFC!
