contactless payment infrastructure

Contactless payment infrastructure enables secure, quick transactions without physical cards or cash. When you tap a contactless card or mobile device near a payment terminal, radio-frequency technology (like NFC) wirelessly transmits encrypted payment data. The terminal communicates with payment networks and banks to verify and approve the transaction in seconds. This system relies on a network of payment processors, secure hardware, and software that ensure safety and convenience. It’s designed to streamline payments, reduce fraud, and enhance user experience by allowing rapid, contact-free transactions at checkout points worldwide.
