Google Pay users can soon make payment using NFC

Google Pay has been increasing the payment methods on its app. It started with UPI (Unified Payment Interface). It then allowed users to add their credit cards to the app. It could soon be launching payment using NFC (near-field communication).

NFC allows contactless payment where a user doesn’t need to swipe a card. The user needs to keep the NFC-enabled device close to the card machine (Point of Sale terminal) and authorize the transaction.

The buzz that Google Pay could soon launch an NFC started after the website Android Police wrote about the company added a support page explaining how it will work. (bit.ly/3ePPqrF).
