Contactless payments

Contactless payments allow your customers to simply tap to pay with a contactless card, mobile phone or payment-enabled device.

Benefits

Why go contactless?

Consumers are shifting to contactless payments because they make transactions safe and secure. Here’s how contactless can benefit your business.

A better customer experience

Processing a tap to pay transaction is safe, convenient and secure — and your customers can tap to pay in seconds, helping you serve more people.

Safe and secure transactions

Tapping to pay helps limit person-to-person interaction at checkout. EMV contactless transactions are also more secure than traditional mag-stripe transactions.

It’s secure. Contactless cards use the same security as chip cards by generating a transaction-specific, one-time-use code, thus protecting your payment information.

Operational efficiency

Contactless payments improve throughput for merchants and reduce the handling of cash. Faster transaction times mean shorter lines and a lesser likelihood of abandoned sales.

Future-proof your business

Investing in contactless now lays the groundwork for the next generation of payment technologies.

As of March 2020, 71% of face-to-face US transactions occur at contactless-enabled locations, up from 62% one year prior.¹

No signature required

In 2018, Visa removed the need to capture and validate a signature for merchants that have deployed EMV^® chip technology. We continue to provide merchants with ways to reduce interaction in face-to-face transactions.
