Contactless payment

In recent years, the contactless payment option has been introduced. This has made it much easier to make purchases. Find out what contactless payment is and what advantages it brings here.

What is contactless payment?

Contactless payment is a payment method where you simply hold your card, mobile phone or smartwatch near the card reader to complete a transaction. To prevent fraud and abuse, contactless payments have a limit of 25-50 euros.

The benefits of contactless payment

Security: As the card always remains in your hand when you make a contactless payment, you can always see what you are paying for with your card and whether it is being stolen. If you lose your card, you can simply block it to prevent misuse.

Speed and convenience: You don't have to enter a PIN number or sign anything during the payment process, so you can pay for your purchases more quickly and conveniently. This can be very convenient, especially for daily grocery shopping.

Hygiene: Especially since COVID-19, hygiene is an important factor. Contactless payment minimises contact between customers and vendors, as the card is only held up to the card reader for a short time.

Flexibility: Contactless payment is possible with various payment sources, such as credit and debit cards, smartwatches, smartphones and other mobile devices. This gives consumers more choice when selecting a payment method.
