7. What the NFC is doing is identifying us, and
our bank account, to a computer. It's a
short-range, low power wireless link that
can transfer small amounts of data between
two devices held a few centimetres from
each other. By tapping your phone on a
contactless payment terminal in a shop,
train station or coffee shop is able to
identify your account (and even your
personal preferences, shopping habits and
even your most frequently travelled route
home) and takes payment through an app
on your phone. - http://www.techradar.com
