Contactless Payment Cards
Contactless payment cards are a type of credit or debit card that allows users to make transactions without physically inserting or swiping the card. Instead, these cards use radio-frequency identification (RFID) or near-field communication (NFC) technology to transmit payment information when held near a compatible payment terminal. This makes the checkout process faster and more convenient.
To use a contactless payment card, simply hold it close to the terminal, and the payment will be processed automatically. Most contactless cards have a limit on the amount that can be spent in a single transaction without entering a PIN or signature, enhancing security while maintaining ease of use.
