I was thinking the same thing. A full 60% of MasterCard and Visa transaction are now paywave/paypass. That's pretty impressive uptake, and I'd imagine it will be just as quick one introduced en-mass overseas. Would love to know Coin's development path for this eventuality!

"Australia leads the world in contactless payments, which have grown from almost zero three years ago to more than 35 million transactions a month and now account for 60 per cent of all MasterCard and Visa credit card transactions, according to Westpac."

It's times like this that show how backwards the US is in many things.

The whole time I was watching the video, I was thinking "Huh - who swipes their card any more?!"

I don't think they have a path for this. Getting the bank to hand over the keys needed will be next to impossible.
