What is contactless payment?
Contactless payment, also known as tap-and-go or near field communication (NFC), is a secure method of making transactions without physically inserting your card into a payment terminal. It uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate between a payment device, such as a card or smartphone, and a compatible reader. By simply holding your payment device close to the reader, you can instantly complete your payment.
