How do I know if my card or device can make contactless payments?

Visa Contactless Cards

If your Visa card features the Contactless Indicator ‍ on either the front or back, you can use it to tap to pay where you see the Contactless Symbol ‍ at many of your favorite stores.

Contactless payment security

Tapping to pay with your Visa contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile/wearable device is a secure way to pay because each transaction generates a transaction-specific, one-time code, that is extremely effective in reducing counterfeit fraud.

To make a payment, your contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile/wearable device must be placed within 2 inches of the Contactless Symbol ‍ located on the checkout terminal in order for the transaction to take place (so you can’t pay accidentally).
