Recall a well-known joke: laziness is the engine of progress. Are you tired of shuffling a deck of payment cards of various banks in front of the ATM, confusing which of them contains the money? Maybe you decided to keep up to date and not overload your wallet and pockets with cash? And how do you like the prospect of instantly buying transport tickets without bothering yourself with wasting time in lines? All these obvious amenities characterize the potential of the rapidly evolving Near Field Communication contactless technology.
