I think part of the issue is that the cardholders and the merchants don't know its available and I have to keep saying to the merchant just tap. It actually pops up on the screen after they input the digits from the card but they don't notice and use what they are used to and stick it in the chip part.
Security wise, God go with you as you literally tap and they hand you back the card. No verification of who you are or the card, literally tap and go.
