contactless payment
Tap your card
Contactless payment is a transaction method where a card or device communicates wirelessly with a payment terminal, requiring no physical insertion or swiping.
The user taps or waves a card, phone, or smartwatch near the reader: Just tap your card for contactless payment.
The technology uses near-field communication (NFC) or radio-frequency identification (RFID).
