Visa Debit Cards® are using new technology that enables contactless payment by touching the card against POS devices at points of sale that carry contactless payment label.
Safer and simpler payment
How to use:
1
Bring your card near the contactless card reader.
2
If the transaction amount is over 40 EUR, enter your PIN.
3
Purchase is successfully executed.
Advantages:
- client controls the transaction – card does not need to be handed over to the salesperson.
- payment speed makes it impossible to view client’s personal information.
- payments cannot be made by accident – bring your card near to the device in order for the transaction to be executed.
- one purchase cannot be charged multiple times – even if the card is near the device multiple times, transaction will be charged only once.
Useful Advice:
- Regularly check executed transactions and the balance of the account for which the card has been issued, and keep record of incurred expenses.
- Keep in mind that when executing transactions using contactless payment, charge date can be different from contactless transaction date.
- Never leave your card unattended.
- If you suspect that some has, even temporarily, used your card or that you have lost it, immediately report the issue to the bank.
- Request a receipt from the salesperson.
