Frequently Asked Questions

Can I unknowingly make a purchase if I am in close proximity to a contactless-enabled terminal?

No. Contactless technology requires the merchant to first initiate the payment, and the contactless card must be held in close proximity (1 - 2 inches) to the terminal for a transaction to take place.

How long do I need to hold my contactless card to the contactless-enabled terminal?

You should hold your contactless card to the contactless-enabled terminal for 1 – 2 seconds.

How do I hold my contactless card to the contactless-enabled terminal?

The terminal reads the card best when it is flat over the Contactless Symbol, versus at an angle.

Do I actually have to tap my contactless card on the contactless-enabled terminal?

No. However, the card should be close (within 1-2 inches) to the Contactless Symbol on the

contactless-enabled terminal.

How do I know if I can tap to pay with my card?

Look for the Contactless Indicator on your card to know if you can use it to tap to pay for purchases.
