Contactless payment continues to grow. Now
sandwich chain Subway is to accept MasterCard PayPass payments
across 7,000 US locations.

By the end of the first quarter of 2012,
consumers will be able to pay by tapping a MasterCard
PayPass-enabled card or device at the register.

Mario Shiliashki, senior vice president and
group head, US emerging payments, MasterCard Worldwide said:

“Subway’s decision to provide PayPass
acceptance is a testament to the popularity of contactless payments
and our shared goal of providing consumers a faster and more
convenient payment experience and a more enjoyable dining
experience.”

As of the second quarter of 2011, nearly 100
million PayPass-enabled cards and devices have been issued
worldwide.
