Overview

Speed at the point of sale

Contactless is the default payment gesture for a large share of customers now. A counter that cannot take a tap creates a small friction on every single transaction, and on a busy queue that adds up. The devices themselves are not exotic — most current terminals and readers already support it, they just need to be enabled and positioned where the customer can reach them.

What’s included

How the setup works for your account

NFC card and wallet support

Tap-enabled cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and smartwatch payments through one antenna.

Faster queues

No dip, no PIN entry below the floor limit, no receipt signature.

Customer-facing placement

Devices are designed to sit where the customer taps rather than being handed back and forth.

Same card-present treatment

A tapped card is a card-present transaction, with the risk profile that comes with it.

Detail

Getting it right on the floor

Position the reader

If the customer has to reach across the counter, tap adoption drops. Mount it facing them.

Signpost it

A small tap symbol at the till measurably increases how many customers use it.

Know your limits

Contactless transactions above a certain value will prompt for a PIN. Train staff so it does not look like a decline.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need new hardware?

Not necessarily. Most terminals sold in recent years already have NFC. Send us the model and we will confirm.

Is contactless less secure?

Each tap generates a one-time cryptogram, so the card number is not exposed. It is not a swipe.

Is it more expensive to accept?

No — a tapped card is priced as card-present, same as a dipped chip card.
