What are Visa contactless payments~ and are they safe?
Using Visa contactless payments~ allows you to complete transactions quicker and spend less time at the checkout. Simply use your card to tap to pay at the contactless reader and provided the transaction is below the contactless threshold you won’t be required to enter a PIN. It is not possible for your Visa contactless payments~ enabled card to be accidentally charged, an authentic transaction needs to be initiated in a retail store. In addition to this, throughout a contactless transaction you remain in control of your card, reducing the risk of card skimming and counterfeit fraud – making using Visa payWave~ a safe and convenient way to shop.
