Consumer debt: Contactless credit

Article Abstract:

New technology allows contactless cards only to be waved just above a scanner, requires no signature, and is growing in popularity. Financial institutions, drug stores, food outlets, convenience stores and theatre chains have begun to use this new device, as "contactless" transactions take less than half the time of using cash, and some consumers spend more when using these cards.
