What are Contactless Payments?
Contactless payments are a secure payment method that allows you to hold your card (or phone) near a card reader to make a payment. Contactless payments can be safer and faster than traditional forms of payment.
How Contactless Payments Work
Contactless payments use Near Field Communication technology (NFC Payments) to share information between two devices within a short range. In order to perform a transaction, you must be within a few centimeters of a card reader. Thinks makes it so you can’t accidentally make payments. Contactless payments also use one of the most secure encryption methods available: tokenization. Your information is encoded, and each transaction you make using your contactless card creates a unique, one-time code, reducing security and fraud risks. Due to this technology, contactless payments provide you with more security, reduced fraud risk, and faster payments.
