Discover, has launched its contactless payment system, Discover
Zip. An undisclosed number of Discover cardholders started to
receive contactless cards in the middle of November while others
received contactless stickers to attach to their mobile

the tremendous value and convenience Discover Zip contactless cards
and stickers provide,” said Mark Scarborough, SVP of cardmember
marketing at Discover.
