Abstract
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-distance wireless technology which allows user friendly networking of mobile terminals, e.g., cellular phones and PDAs, as it does with stationary units like Automated Teller Machines (ATM). Hardware producers, network operators and service providers are willing to implement NFC technologies in order to offer new services to their customers. The main goal is to increase the attraction of the underdeveloped areas of mobile commerce and make them more interesting for owners of mobile devices. If and how much real potential there is in NFC as a basic technology to really provide new impulses in mobile commerce and mobile marketing so that a higher acceptance can be reached are remaining open questions. This chapter tries to approach these questions and to provide possible answers by outlining relevant applicative examples and further configuration options of NFC technology as well as by discussing their acceptability.a

Credit Scoring in the Age of Big Data
Near field communication allows wireless communication and data exchange between digital devices like smartphones. The technology utilizes electromagnetic radio fields to allow a mobile phone to collect data from another device at close range. In many ways it is like a contactless payment card that is integrated into a phone. It is similar to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology, except that instead of programming two devices to work together, they can simply touch to establish a connection.
