Abstract
A first near-field communication device detects the presence of a second near-field communication device located within range. In response to that detection, there is an initiation of a near-field communication between the first and second devices. In case of a failure of the initiation of the near-field communication, instead an initiation of a contactless bank transaction between the first and second devices occurs.
