It is usually used with electronic chips in the mobile phone, which store all the required information (such as credit cards numbers, ID cards, etc) with them. The NFC chip in your smartphone can be used to pay for goods or services without needing to use your credit card or cash. All you need to do is scan the NFC tag of your smartphone on an NFC terminal and make sure that your NFC contactless payment app has been turned-on.
