NFC

Miami’s mass transit system is adding contactless card payments on its Metrorail service as it combats ridership decline.

As major U.S. cities continue to implement contactless tap-and-go acceptance to collect transit fares, at least one bank sees this trend as an opportunity to put its cards on center stage.

Barclays has jumped on a huge range of technology that brings payments closer to myriad activities, but as competition looms, the bank is working to better organize its projects.

Apple's new credit card isn't just another virtual card in its virtual wallet. It borrows a lot of features from the most successful brands in payments and technology.

As Apple Card’s public test begins this week with a limited number of consumers, details are emerging about how the tech giant is differentiating its product from other cards.

Large U.S. banks and merchants are finally working together to support contactless payments. But two of retail's biggest chains, Walmart and Kroger, aren't on board, and for good reason.

While major card issuers such as Chase and Wells Fargo roll out NFC-enabled credit and debit cards incrementally, Bank of America is taking a much more aggressive approach.

Google has made significant headway against merchant reluctance and branding confusion on its path to offer mobile payments. But an influx of contactless cards in the U.S. threatens another setback to mobile wallet adoption.

To fuel growth, Apple's mobile wallet needs to go beyond its core use cases of NFC and in-app payments. Apple Pay's latest project leans more heavily on NFC to do work typically handled by apps.

The U.S. is already very late to the party when it comes to contactless payments. But even so, there are signs that many merchants still aren't prepared for an influx of contactless cards.
