    Whether NFC payments work seems very much dependent on what your bank app is allowing. Some banks in the EU have no issues, so you should check what particular payment system you want to use.

    In general, chances are low. Some people use smartwatches as a workaround.

    I don’t use smartwatches nor NFC payments with smartdevices. My bank card allows NFC payments directly.
