There are four key benefits to issuing contactless cards.
Contactless cards have proven effective in converting cash to card-based payments.
With the ease and convenience of contactless cards, cardholders are more likely to move contactless cards to top-of wallet.
Cardholders find it fast, easy, and secure to tap to pay in seconds.
As contactless continues to gain global momentum, contactless cards offer consistency, providing your cardholders with the same experience at merchants around the world.
Cardholders can pay with a contactless card by holding the card flat and tapping it at a contactless-enabled checkout terminal. The payment is processed using the same dynamic security technology as with chip card payments, and the transaction time takes seconds.
Look for the Contactless Symbol that signifies a contactless-enabled checkout terminal.
The chip plate on a contactless card is visible on the front of the card.
Inside the card, the chip and antennae communicate with the point of sale terminal to send encrypted transaction data.
