Sounds interesting to me. The way ahead as long as it's swift like using contactless cards in the USA

Yawn, NFC is old tech now,
My barclaycard issued early last year was NFC enabled, the readers are already available.
The usual problems are allready emerging... Fraud, being the biggest .
Remember the hoo,ha over the chip and pin machines that didnt ask for a pin when they were first introduced to express checkouts in supermarkets.
They restricted them by limiting the amount of non verification transactions to £5
Expect the same on NFC,..and wait till the first phone thats enabled gets pinched and the owner gets a bill for thousands!! via NFC

Lol yes Mart, I too have an NFC credit card, had it a long time too, but the option to have it in the phone is good for me.
I'm sure it will be the same as your phone, report it lost and it will be frozen, and the usual fraud protection.
That said, I have never once in the UK had the chance to use the NFC card. Guess I shop in the wrong places.
