What is a contactless payment?
It’s a quick payment made through your phone, watch, or card. Using Apple or Google Pay, you just pull out your phone or watch and hover it over the payment reader to make an instantaneous payment, which is faster and more secure than traditional chip-based cards.
Are contactless payments secure?
Contactless payments are a lot more secure than magnetic-stripe or chip cards, whose extremely outdated technology makes them very easy to clone. This is why you may be the target of fraudulent charges and identity theft. Contactless payments are encrypted and these encrypted keys are constantly changing, which means they are almost impossible to break into. So, even if someone were to attempt to break into a system, the data they could potentially access would not be of any use.
What options for contactless payments are available?
The most commonly used contactless payment options are Apple Pay and Google Pay.
