What are the benefits of a contactless debit card?
The primary benefit of contactless payments is speed. With a contactless debit card, you can make a payment with a tap of the card, reducing the amount of time spent waiting for a payment to process. This can be particularly useful in environments where speed is particularly beneficial, such as food trucks, outdoor markets, or stadiums – and comes with the benefit of a more sanitary checkout experience for those who practice extra care in public spaces.
Are contactless payments secure?
Yes. Contactless debit cards use short-range radio frequencies to transmit a one-time-only code between your card or mobile device and the card reader. This makes it extremely difficult for any bad actors to access your card information. MasterCard provides the same Zero Liability Protection for unauthorized transactions and the contactless feature guards against double payments.
