The Buffalo News: Consumers in Western New York and other parts of the country will soon have a new way to pay for their Big Mac, Slurpee or movies.

Rather than sliding their credit, debit or prepaid card through a reader or giving it up to a store clerk, they can just flash their card or keychain attachment in front of the machine or tap it and be on their way. No need to sign a receipt or get change, and no need for long lines.
