RFID Contactless Payments
Transitioning to Open Contactless Payment Systems
Limited trials and initial deployments of contactless payment technology have already shown much of its potential for the key players in the transaction value chain. Contactless can bring benefits to card associations as they increase the reach of their products, to card issuers aiming to differentiate their products and services, to merchants who can speed up transaction times and transaction values, and to card holders and customers who no longer need cash on hand and can speed less time waiting to pay for goods. Despite these potential benefits, moving the capabilities of open system contactless payments into the mainstream depends on a buy-in from all parties. Given the regional, and often national, differences in existing payment systems, contactless’s adoption across borders is likely to be uneven for some time.
This study sets out the environment in which contactless payments are being accessed around the world, and the technical and business challenges that have to be faced in the wider adoption of the technology. It explains how, why, and where contactless payments will be adopted around the world.
