I just wanted to say that sounds like an issue with North American payment systems. In the UK and a lot of Europe we introduced tap and go pretty widely a couple of years ago, it actually freaked me out a little bit coming back from Malaysia because it just feels very dangerous being able to pay for a round of drinks just by tapping your card against the machine. A few card companies seem to have phone apps now, apple pay is getting more common but I don't think Google Wallet has really managed to take off at all. I guess they haven't found a way to make it that profitable as I haven't seen any marketing around it.

I'm too paranoid to put payment stuff into my phone having had it stolen once. Having to change all my passwords was bad enough I don't want to have to change all my cards as well if I lose another one.
