  Until you get hit by a card skimmer. Encrypted NFC is safer than a physical card.

    I haven’t used a swipe in years. Virtually all contact less now.

  Can you explain that one to me? Anyone can take my card and use it, no one can take my phone and use it… also I would notice my phone being gone sooner. Cards dont have to transfer to other devices and have to be readded with the banks verification. A card is as easy as beep and draw an X, or not even have to “sign”.
