Some apps support tapping a credit/debit card against the phone to add it to that app if the card itself is NFC (near field communication) enabled. They are usually indicated as being such by having what looks like wireless signal bars turned sideways.

Have you ever paid for something with a Debit/Credit Card and instead of inserting or sliding it into a slot you just tap the card on the card reader? Same thing.

It means physically tapping or placing said card against the back of the phone itself.

Transfer of data (money authorization, in this case) between a phone and some other device, without the card being inserted into the phone.

What do I do: attach the phone to the card or the scanner to card?
I saw attaching a card of bus to the phone to charge it, so I charge the card with the phone or I charge the scanner (not the phone) with the card?!

There is no "attach".

Just tap the phone against the card, and the 2 devices will share whatever data they need to.

1. What is the difference between tap vs. attach?
or I wonder in the question:
2. what is the difference between tapping to attach (something and leaving it fast)?

"attach" would mean connected for some period of time.
"tap" means a momentary touching.

I wish to add that there is a substantial difference among British English, American English, and Indian English.

Indian English = Indian languages translated verbatim into English, and in some instances will not make any sense.

While true, you might want to back off on replying to year old threads.
