We actually did have contactless payment but it died off. Cards used to be equipped with RFIDs in them but banks stopped issuing them, I guess because the RF signals they sent off were unencrypted (criminals could just walk around with a laptop and an RFID scanner and swipe credit card data in public spaces).

Contactless payment is still accepted here but only by NFC devices now (like Apple Pay).

Chipped cards are basically mandatory here now but signatures are usually still required for high value purchases (over $50). The only places that don't have to use chips are gas station pumps (some places still enforce swiping but it's at their own risk as banks will not insure any funds taken from a swiped card unless it's a gas station pump).
