Common Questions

Is contactless payment secure?

Yes, very secure. Uses the same encryption as chip cards. Each transaction generates unique code. No card number transmitted. Actually more secure than magstripe.

What percentage of customers use contactless?

Growing rapidly—now majority in many markets. Younger customers strongly prefer it. If you don't accept contactless, you're increasingly friction for customers.
