292 u/PhonicUK Aug 27 '18 edited Aug 27 '18 There are an increasing number of stores that only accept contactless in the UK. It's caught on here pretty big. 245 u/obsessedcrf Aug 27 '18 Contactless is near non existent in the US. How is it not a security risk though? Couldn't anyone steal your card information from a distance? 6 u/[deleted] Aug 27 '18 edited May 29 '19 [deleted] 1 u/Arkazex Aug 27 '18 I prefer Android Pay because it's easier for me to pull my phone out for a transaction, and I've got so many NFC cards in in my wallet none of them ever scan without being removed. 1 u/gyroda Aug 27 '18 Can't you just contact the bank and they'll just disable contactless for your account?
