Each CommunityAmerica debit card has contactless technology built-in to help speed up and secure your transactions. Every chip and contactless transaction contain a one-time code that gets transmitted each time you make a purchase, helping to protect against fraud.
The contactless symbol is four curved lines that get bigger from left to right that looks like a Wi-Fi symbol.
How to Use Your Contactless Card
- Look for the contactless symbol on the payment terminal
- Tap your card on the front of the point-of-sale terminal
- Remove your card when prompted – you may need to enter your pin
- Your payment is securely processed in seconds
