It is usually used with electronic small chips in the mobile phone, which contain 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 handle your credit card or cash. All you have to do is scan the NFC tag of your smartphone on an NFC terminal and assure that your NFC contactless payment app has been operated.
