Whether it’s buying gas or paying for a restaurant tab, a new consumer survey from the leading payment, identity and digital security solutions provider Entrust Datacard found that the majority of U.S.-based payment cardholders (75%) prefer contactless cards as their primary payment method over chip insert, card swipe, mobile pay and cash.
“Consumers want the ability to shop at their convenience, but also want to minimize personal contact with point of sale devices. Contactless cards are rising in popularity as a result.”
