Contactless payment
Contactless payment is a secure and convenient method of making transactions using devices like credit cards, smartphones, or smartwatches. Instead of swiping or inserting a card, you simply hold it near a special reader equipped with radio frequency technology. This allows for quick payments, often without needing a PIN for small purchases. The technology uses encryption to protect your information, making it both fast and safe. It’s widely used in retail, public transport, and various services, streamlining the checkout process and enhancing the overall shopping experience.

Contactless payment is a technology that allows consumers to make transactions without physically swiping or inserting their payment cards. Instead, customers can simply hover or tap their card or mobile device over a contactless reader. This method uses radio frequency identification (RFID) or near-field communication (NFC) to securely transfer payment information quickly and easily. Many smartphones also support digital wallets, enabling users to pay with a tap using stored credit or debit card information. This payment method is convenient, faster than traditional methods, and increasingly popular in retail environments.
