Contactless payments allow consumers to buy products or services without the need to swipe or insert their debit or credit card. This type of technology utilizes NFC or near-field communications to communicate with the point of sale device rather than needing to swipe a card.

Currently, 51% of Americans are using some form of contactless payment.
