Contactless and Mobile Payments Resources
The launch of contactless payments across North America has begun in earnest. American Express, MasterCard, and Visa have all launched contactless payment initiatives, with leading banks issuing millions of contactless credit and debit cards to consumers. Major retailers across the U.S. are installing contactless readers that can accept contactless payment and are integrated with point-of-sale (POS) systems. Research shows that consumers, issuers and merchants benefit from the use of contactless payments. Consumers enjoy added convenience, speed and ease of use, while issuers and merchants enjoy faster transaction times, increased spending per transaction, lower operational costs and penetration into the cash payment market.
The resources below were compiled by the Smart Card Alliance Payments Council to provide up-to-date information on the status of the contactless payments programs being launched by the financial industry in the U.S.
