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 (digital or plastic) to tap and pay at the contactless reader. You won’t be required to enter your PIN provided the transaction is below the contactless threshold.
It is not possible for your Visa card to be charged accidentally as an authentic transaction needs to be initiated in a retail store. You remain in control of your card during contactless transactions, which reduces the risk of skimming and counterfeit fraud, making Visa contactless payments a safe and convenient way to shop.
