Contactless payment terminals are devices that allow customers to make payments without physically swiping or inserting their cards. Instead, users can simply tap their credit cards, debit cards, or mobile devices near the terminal to complete a transaction. This technology uses radio frequency identification (RFID) or near-field communication (NFC) to securely transmit payment information. These terminals are commonly found in various locations, such as retail stores, restaurants, and public transportation. They offer a quick and convenient way to pay, reducing wait times and enhancing the overall shopping experience. Contactless payments are also considered more hygienic, as they minimize physical contact.
