RIVERWOODS, Ill. – Discover Financial has begun issuing its new Zip contactless credit cards and stickers, targeted at early adopters of its mobile technology.
Discover Zip is a payment solution that enables fast and convenient transactions with enhanced security features via contactless technology.

More than 100,000 U.S. merchant locations, including participating locations of McDonald’s, Burger King, 7-Eleven, Meijer, DQ (Dairy Queen), Whataburger, The Home Depot, offer contactless readers that accept Zip transactions at the point-of-sale, including quick service restaurants, gas station and convenient stores, retailers and pharmacies, and public transit agencies.
