When you use it at the Canada/US border, at properly equipped lanes at certain crossings there is an RFID reader that will read the card. The border agent will have your information on his screen when you pull up to him.
I understand these readers will be installed in non-NEXUS lanes too, although it won't be compulsory to use them - but you can wave your card at these as well to save a little time.
