In the case of mobile payments, NFC is used to securely transmit payment credentials. Your phone takes the place of your credit card.<\/p>\n<p>To use tap-to-pay at gas pumps, you\u2019ll need to keep an eye out for some logos.

The setup process simply involves adding your desired credit card to the app. From there, you can tap your Apple device to the gas pump to make a payment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Set Up and Use Apple Pay on an iPhone<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Android devices have a few more options.

Rather than physically tapping your phone to the reader, the entire payment process can be completed in your car.<\/p>\n<p>Many gas stations now have apps that allow you to select your gas pump number and choose a payment method without having to get out of your car.
