Contactless payment options include Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, and Microsoft Wallet. Apple Pay uses NFC and Touch ID on iPhones 6 and above, storing encrypted payment details. It was launched in 2014 and allows adding cards through Passbook or manually. Android Pay is similar but works on Android 4.4 or above. Samsung Pay can work through magnetic card readers or NFC. Microsoft Wallet failed to gain popularity. CurrentC uses QR codes and was developed by retailers to avoid credit card fees, but offers less fraud protection than cards.

7. CurrentC
Based on QR Codes
Long before Apple Pay, big brick-and-mortar retail chains were conspiring to sidestep the typical 2% to 3% fees they’re
charged by credit card companies when consumers pay with credit. A company called MCX (Merchant Customer
Exchange), spearheaded by Walmart, was started to build a mobile payment solution that would become an app called
CurrentC that’s preparing to launch, but is already in the app stores.
PayPal bought Paydiant for $280 million
The system is built upon technology developed by Paydiant, a startup based in Boston.[4] The system, intentionally, does
not support credit cards, as one of its goals is to prevent merchants from having to pay their interchange fees. However,
as CurrentC transactions can directly debit customers' banking accounts via the ACH system, consumers do not enjoy
the same legal protection against fraudulent charges that is offered by credit and debit cards.
