Contactless "Tap to Pay" Benefits
Secure
Contactless cards are currently among the safest forms of payment. It's difficult for a hacker to steal your card information.
Convenient
Contactless payments take seconds to complete, are faster than inserting a chip and are safer than swiping or paying with cash.
Touch-Free
Using your contactless card to make a payment allows you to avoid interaction with high-touch point-of-sale terminals.
