Yeah this surprised me. Is NFC payment not common in India?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (16 children)

Nah, india has UPI which uses QR codes.

Why?

Even a low-end phone comes with a good enough camera for QR which means wider adoption, you need a higher tier phone for NFC.

We have a similar system in my country and I believe we copy it from India, it works and is convenient.

What? Payments are obviously going to be secure.

QR codes cannot contain enough data to put cryptographic keys.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Okay? QR codes are displayed publicly. They display the unique ID of the merchant. That's all. The payment happens over the internet which is encrypted.
