Are contactless payments safe?
Yes. Contactless payments provide the same security and encryption as EMV chip payments. They generate a one-time security code unique to each transaction; protecting your card information from being used for any future unauthorized purchases. And you can’t pay accidentally – your card must be within 1 – 2 inches of the terminal for the sale to register; and even if you tap twice you won’t be billed twice. Contactless payments are also covered by Visa’s Zero Liability Policy* protecting you from unauthorized purchases.
