I can't think of a single retailer in the UK that takes card payments, but doesn't support contactless (including Google Pay and Apple Pay).

Ignoring very small shops that don't take cards at all.

Are the tap&pay NFC? -- I thought it was different tech under the hood.

What I meant is that I've not seen any other use for NFC apart from bus station adverts?

Yes, it's a form of NFC!
