I mean the physical credit cards didn’t have tap to pay most of the time until very recently. NFC has been around for a long time.

I think a couple of years before COVID hit most cards had it, but many stores didn't support it. But once COVID came and visited, all stores got new TPVs that could read NFC very quickly.
