They excel at small transactions, avoiding the need for having cash, and this can apply not just when shopping but also for everyday items. However, as well as contactless payments, mobile payment apps can also be great for sending money to people you know, such as friends or family, or paying traders directly.

However, Friday’s announcement that the contract would go to Microsoft instead is prompting questions about the company’s future. “Losing the bid is also a hit to the reputation of Amazon, which decided last year to open a large outpost in Northern Virginia that will eventually employ at least 25,000 people,” the New York Times reported on Friday.
