With more and more retailers using Square to accept payments, this novel system lets you completely dispense with your wallet and pay for things entirely from your phone -- without even needing near field communications (NFC) chip like Google Wallet. It's simple, it's fun, but it's not used in most major retailers, so while you may sometimes be able to Pay with Square, you won't be leaving your wallet at home any time soon.

    If you've got a small business — or friends who never seem to have any cash with them — Square is for you. It turns your iPhone into a credit-card reader, so you can instantly accept Visa, MasterCard, and other major cards. Processing fees are reasonable, and money is usually deposited in your bank account within 24 hours.

    Set up a free Expensify account, and you can use your iPhone or iPad to keep track of your expenses as they occur. Use your phone's camera to scan receipts, save your reports, and send them back to HQ for processing. The basic service is free, though businesses that want to use it as their expense reporting back-end have to pay $5 per user each month.
