Mobile payments have come a long way since they first started gaining traction. It wasn’t so long ago that we marveled at the convenience of ditching our wallets and simply using our phones to make purchases. Fast forward to today, and tap-to-pay has become so commonplace that it’s almost surprising when a store doesn’t offer contactless payment options.
