Tap-to-pay technology
Tap-to-pay technology allows you to make payments quickly by simply tapping your contactless credit or debit card, or a compatible smartphone or smartwatch, onto a payment terminal. It uses near-field communication (NFC) technology, which creates a secure wireless connection between your device and the terminal, transmitting payment information safely. This method eliminates the need to enter a PIN or swipe a card, making transactions faster and more convenient for in-person purchases. Security features, like encryption and tokenization, protect your payment data during the process.
