the capacity to accept NFC contactless payments by the end of this
year.

By the end of 2012, customers should be able
make payments up to GBP20 using both MasterCard Paypass and Visa
PayWave cards at the 11,000 Post Office branches in the UK.
Chris Davies, MD of HSBC Merchant Services
said: “Contactless payments are becoming increasingly popular with
today’s consumers and we expect to see the technology being
introduced to more businesses and sectors in 2012.”
