How NFC Tags Work for Mobile Payment

NFC technology has not only revolutionized social media sharing but also transformed the way we make payments. With the help of NFC tags and stickers provided by Unirfid, users can now easily make payments using their NFC-enabled smartphones.

NFC payment applications can be categorized into open-loop applications and closed-loop applications. Open-loop applications refer to the use of NFC-enabled smartphones to simulate bank cards or transportation cards. In an ideal scenario, a smartphone with NFC capabilities and added virtual bank cards can be used for mobile payments at supermarkets, malls, or POS machines. This is commonly seen in NFC-enabled smartphones that are linked to bank cards for contactless payments in public transportation systems.

On the other hand, closed-loop applications involve the use of NFC to simulate transportation cards. Companies like Xiaomi and Huawei have initiated pilot programs in certain cities to enable NFC public transportation card functionalities on smartphones. This allows users to bind their NFC-enabled smartphones to transportation cards for contactless payments. With the increasing popularity of NFC smartphones and the continuous improvement of NFC technology, transportation card systems in various regions will gradually support NFC smartphone applications. Closed-loop applications have a promising future as NFC technology becomes more widespread.

NFC tags and stickers provided by Unirfid play a crucial role in enabling NFC payment applications. Whether it's for simulating bank cards or transportation cards, NFC technology is transforming the way we make payments, offering convenience and efficiency to users. As NFC technology continues to advance, the possibilities for NFC payment applications are endless, promising a seamless and secure payment experience for users worldwide.
