SWIPE FOR

Hey ,

Here's an excerpt from Newsweek : 'These firms have financial incentives to see the venture succeed . When using a phone to swipe for a cappucciono becomes faster than cash , credit-card companies stand to bank more transactions .'

What does 'to swipe for' means here ??

Thx

Hello Anon

It means using a mobile-phone-based system of credit to pay for food and drink.

(You "swipe" a credit card, when you pass it through or put it in a credit card reader.)
