NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It is a short-range, high frequency data share technology that makes use of electromagnetic induction between two devices and can deliver information at a faster rate than bluetooth.
It is usually used with electronic small 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 device 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 enabled.
