IIRC (from my coworker) Samsung had a feature where their phones could somehow emulate swiping a magnetic strip on a reader. This was ~6 years ago, so only some terminals had tap-to-pay.
Yeah but the reader has to have that ability. And this one had like 5 signs that said cards must be inserted. It had no reader for holding a card or phone up to it.
And she was swiping it across this yellow thing that was above where the stamps are dispensed. It def did not read cards nor phones.
I waited behind a lady at the self kiosk for like 15 min while she repeatedly swiped her phone across the card reader.
Yes. Her phone.
I have never done it myself but am pretty sure phones can nowadays be used for contactless payment?
Yes but not at the usps kiosk . That only accepts swiping cards through the reader. It did not have contactless pay.
It had like 2 signs that said cards must be inserted. And states which cards were accepted. Didn’t accept apple pay or any phone payment.
