McDonald's to Accept RFID Payments Later This Year

Customers at McDonald's will be able to pay with Mastercard Paypass later this year. The Mastercard Paypass uses RFID technology to complete the transaction.

According to the Inquirer:

This will let you, according to McDonald's, "wave" your card near a till that uses RF chips to complete payments.
Verifone card tills which can interpret the wave and charge you for your burger and chips will be used to detect your Paypass credit card, said McDonald's.
