Meaning

A Contactless Card is a debit or credit card that allows users to make payments by tapping the card near a payment terminal, without inserting or swiping it.

How It Works

These cards use NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. For transactions under a certain limit, no PIN is required.

Benefits

It speeds up payments, reduces contact, and is safer for small-value transactions.
