What is a contactless card?

A contactless card uses a secure short-range radio connection (NFC) to transmit payment information to a terminal. Instead of inserting or swiping, you simply hold your card near the payment reader to complete the transaction — usually in under a second.

Contactless payments in 3 simple steps

  1. Locate the contactless symbol: Look for the four curved lines on your card and on payment terminals — that’s the contactless logo.

  2. Tap or hold near the terminal: Hold your card (or device) within 2–3 inches of the reader until you see a green light or hear a beep.

  3. You're good to go: It's that simple! 

Here's a Tip: Add your contactless card to your mobile wallet for even more convenience.
