The number of United States tap to pay mobile payments - contactless payments, or proximity payments - with a smartphone or wearable are expected to nearly double by 2027. A forecast investigating such NFC enabled payments claims the U.S. would be the world's largest market when it comes to the overall volume of such transactions. It adds that services like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay would be at the heart of this development, especially in public transport networks.
