Frankly, I don't take that much notice of the terminal itself; but, 99% of terminals that I see (and have used) are NFC enabled; the only one that I have come that was not NFC was clunky looking and clearly had no facility for touching a card against it ...

Any way, don't worry about it too much, the U.S. will eventually catch up to the rest of the world; in the meantime, the U.S. does ~30% of the world's credit card transactions but has ~50% of the credit card fraud ...
