Square is one of the few companies currently on the market that handle contactless payments for small businesses. Yesterday, more than 100 brick-and-mortar shops across the United States started to use the new Square contactless reader. This way, they can accept a wide range of contactless payments, including those done via Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, as well as chip card and legacy swipe payments.
