Apple Pay: New NFC tags for fast payments
The fact that you can pay in stores with Apple Pay is nothing new. In the future, NFC tags should also enable fast payment at parking meters and similar things.
Jennifer Bailey, Vice President of Apple Pay, was present at the TRANSACT event in Las Vegas, where she presented NFC stickers for Apple Pay. First of all, these should enable fast payment at, for example, parking meters. Simply hold your iPhone and Apple Watch to the day and the amount due will be debited. In addition, it will be possible to extend the time set on the watch while on the move for an extra charge.
Apple announced support for NFC stickers / tags that trigger Apple Pay for payment without having an app installed. Imagine tapping your phone on a scooter or a parking meter and paying for it without signing up or downloading an app first. #ApplePay https://t.co/owgOsH3N7L pic.twitter.com/jpxUf7H6v6

Apple also wants to bring order to its own wallet and ban bonus club cards with NFC tags. Where can you find a sticker for a bonusprogram, it is enough to scan it. The loyalty card is then automatically added to Apple Wallet.
