Pay in seconds—way faster than cash.
A simple tap is all it takes.
Just like the trusted security of chip cards, each transaction is accompanied by a one-time code that protects your information.
Once you get payment confirmation, you’re good to go!
One to two seconds should do it.
Tapping to pay with a Visa contactless card is fast and easy — perfect for places like fast-food res-taurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, vending machines, taxis and more.
Tapping to pay is also secure because just like a chip card, each transaction is accompanied by a one-time code that protects your payment information.
Unlike cash, tapping to pay provides an electronic record of your purchases and gives you all the great functionality and convenience of a Visa card.
Contact your bank by calling the number on the back of your card to inquire.
Contactless payments, including those made with Visa contactless cards, Google Pay and Apple Pay, use the same NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. Samsung Pay, however, works with both NFC technology and MST (Magnetic Secure Transition) technology, which can be used anywhere you can swipe.
Yes. Here’s why:
The card securely transmits information including the account number, expiration date, and a unique one-time code that changes for every in-person transaction and encrypts your payment in-formation. The unique code is different than the code encoded on the magnetic stripe of a Visa card.
Skimming is very unlikely and limited in scope. For every contactless transaction, a unique transaction-specific code is created that secures the cardholder’s payment information. Due to the nature of the code and additional fraud protection processes, it is difficult to use skimmed cardholder information for fraudulent purchases.
No. The technology behind tapping to pay requires the merchant to initiate the payment. Next, the contactless card must be tapped or held within 1 - 2 inches of the contactless-enabled terminal in order for a transaction to take place.
No. Contactless-enabled checkout terminals will only communicate with one card at a time. If you have more than one contactless card in your wallet, you should tap the individual card you want to use, rather than tap your whole wallet.
