No NFC, No Problem: Google to Issue NFC Sticker for Wallet Services

Google doesn’t want a lack of NFC support in most devices to deter users from their Google Wallet payments service. At a Q&A sessions taking place after today’s announcement, it was revealed that Google will be issuing NFC-enabled stickers to users to facilitate mobile payment processing. The sticker can be placed on the back of your phone, though it doesn’t actually need to an Android handset to work. You won’t get the full-fledged Google Wallet experience, however. The sticker will be tied to a single credit card number, assigned by the user. With some finagling you could potentially have access to more accounts by tying the sticker to a Google Prepaid account (bonus: you get $10 of spending money just for signing up), which can receive deposits from various sources.
