IN-PERSON PAYMENTS ARE GETTING FASTER
Contactless chip payments can help get your consumers through lines more quickly with a simple tap of a contactless card, mobile device or smart watch. Your terminal may already be capable of accepting contactless payments!
Why get contactless?
Offering customers the choice to tap with faster contactless cards or mobile wallets shows them you care about their time and security, and can mean shorter lines and more sales for you. Tapping to make a payment takes only a few seconds and the technology is backed by the same strong security as contact chip cards.
