Bank App, NFC bank card payments?

Tap and pay or paywave are the best thing to happen in mobile IMO. I don't even carry a wallet anymore. I had having to carry a phone and wallet. Now it's back down to only have to carry one thing. Perfect

That is a lot of faith in the technology. You don't worry about a dead battery? Cracked screen? Phone getting stolen out of your hand in the subway?

Home is never far away. If something like that happened 99.9% of things can wait until I've been home to collect my wallet. Just as much chance if me loosing my wallet as most of the things you mentioned.

I don't trust phone security enough to do that.

It's the same as having a credit card for web orders that has a lower limit, you load the same card into the phone...
