What about the contractor that, say, cuts down a tree, and wants to be
paid?  He has his phone, but can your mobile pay app using NFC connect
to his mobile pay app via NFC on his phone?

  In our country (The Netherlands) and probably in most of Europe and
the rest of the 'western' (and other?) world, we have several
person-to-person payment systems, which also work on smartphones.

  One system is phonenumber-to-phonenumber, so you only need the
contractor's phonenumber, which you probably already have. Another one
is a 'tikkie' (tap on the shoulder), where the contractor's bank app
sends a payment request (normally via WhatsApp) and you pay via your
bank app.

  So no NFC, and no USB card readers required.
