So, I was about to pay for a lunch using NFC, but then I checked on my phone and the only NFC apps it has are Google and Samsung’s.
Which apps I can use to do NFC that will not sell all my bank data?

Tapping your card shares the card number. Paying with your phone doesn’t.
I will check on that but I had thought that the point of moving from mag stripe to chip cards was to stop exposing the card number. The is instead a 2 way encrypted conversation between the chip and the bank server. I had expected the phone app to do about the same thing.
Also, payment terminals (I was once pretty familiar with them) are likely to be more secure than phones.
Yeah you’re right. Mastercard says tapping your card also sends a tokenized version or the card number.
