Hello Jenine,

Please keep in mind that in order to use Apple Pay, via the NFC protocol, you 
must use the device's Touch ID sensor as you hold/wave/pass the device 
over/near the vendor's payment/transaction terminal.

One nice thing I've noticed while doing this is that it is not necessary to 
first have the Passbook app running in the background in order to successfully 
complete a transaction.

Oh, it is also not necessary to first unlock the screen in order to complete a 
transaction.  

Simply put, Apple Pay facilitates the smoothest brick & mortar purchasing 
experience I've ever had the pleasure of conducting.

Several of my friends, sighted and non-sighted alike, go out of their way to 
patronize vendors who accept Apple Pay via NFC.

Mark

Thanks Alex. 

I have no idea why in my brain I had that as NFS rather than NFC. It wouldn’t 
even matter then which side of your phone was pointing at the receiver or cash 
transaction device if it’s a radio signal. 

Not there yet but soon enough.
