The rise in the use of NFC

A growing number of telecoms and banks in Canada are launching payment platforms enabled with the NFC technology for smartphones.

The cardholders of Visa have also been allowed to make payments using the contactless technology by using their smartphones. The Visa payWave is an application which is installed on a smart device, which then interacts with the payment gateway of the bank for making a transaction at the contactless terminal of the merchant.

The rapid growth in the adoption of NFC technology is expected to substantially aid the growth of the Canada Cards and Payments Market.
