NFC Trial Hagenberg – User FeedbackNFC phone as “all-in-one” solution is well accepted
NFC is noticed as– convenient– innovative– new– presentable– simple
But also– technical– challenging (for the user)– a little bit incalculable
While more than 80% of the participants think that NFC payment is better, easier, faster and more stylish than cash or card based payment, almost 50% of the participants believe that NFC payment is also less secure.
