What is the benefit of a contactless credit card and tapping to pay?
Tapping to pay with a contactless card helps you avoid touching surfaces at checkout. It’s safe, easy and secure — perfect for places like fast food restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, vending machines, taxis and more. Tapping to pay is also secure because just like a chip card, each transaction is accompanied by a one-time code that protects your payment information. Unlike cash, tapping to pay provides an electronic record of your purchases and gives you all the great functionality and convenience of a Visa card.
