Take a quick look at how fast paying with a contactless Visa card can be.
Fast just got faster with the contactless Visa card. Safe, secure and convenient, simply use your contactless Visa card for all your small value purchases (under €15), and be quickly on your way.
Using your contactless Visa card is easy. Simply look for the contactless symbol found at points of purchase in retailers nationwide. When you’re ready to make your purchase, hold your contactless Visa card in front of the contactless reader and, in less than a second, it will confirm whether your purchase has been accepted. You can quickly pay for anything €15 and under and, as an added security measure, you will occasionally be asked to provide your PIN.
Contactless Visa cards use the same secure technology as any other Visa chip and PIN cards. For a payment to be made, your retailer must enter an amount for you to approve, so duplicate payments cannot be made without your knowledge. Also, you will not be accidentally charged if you come too close to a contactless reader – in order for a transaction to be made, you must hold your card directly in front of the reader at precisely the right time.
Contactless is going to be popular in any busy places where people make lots of low value purchases – such as supermarkets, fast food restaurants, newsagents, pubs, cafes, coffee bars and convenience stores.
Visa is accepted in millions of retail outlets worldwide. So wherever you are, simply look for the Visa logo.
From shopping online, to protecting you if your card is lost or stolen, paying with Visa gives you peace of mind.
Paying with Visa makes it easy to keep a record of what you spend, so you can keep track of your purchases.
Don’t let ATMs interrupt your day. With Visa, you always have a way to pay.
