Abstract

The present invention includes systems and methods directed towards bill splitting and account delegation using near field communications (NFC). The systems and methods enable an NFC device to split a single bill into two or more portions, allow one or more users to apply gift cards, coupons, promotions, tips or other modifications to the amount due, and facilitate multiple different types of payment from two or more users on the same bill using NFC.
