  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.
