• Tap to pay with Visa contactless payments

      A simple and secure tap is all it takes to pay for the things you need. Visa contactless payments make it secure and convenient.

What are contactless payments?

Contactless payments are transactions made by tapping either a contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile or wearable device over a contactless-enabled payment terminal. Cards, phones, watches and other devices use the same contactless technology. When you tap to pay checkout is secure, convenient and touch-free.


How do I know if my card or device can make contactless payments?

Visa Contactless Cards

If your Visa card features the Contactless Indicator ‍ on either the front or back, you can use it to tap to pay where you see the Contactless Symbol ‍ at many of your favorite stores.

Devices

Don’t have a contactless card? You can still tap to pay by loading an eligible payment card into your payment-enabled phone or wearable device.

Contactless payment security

Tapping to pay with your Visa contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile/wearable device is a secure way to pay because each transaction generates a transaction-specific, one-time code, that is extremely effective in reducing counterfeit fraud.

To make a payment, your contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile/wearable device must be placed within 2 inches of the Contactless Symbol ‍ located on the checkout terminal in order for the transaction to take place (so you can’t pay accidentally).
