Benefits of contactless payment for business and consumers
Contactless payment is a method of payment that allows consumers to make transactions without physically inserting or swiping their payment card into a card reader. Instead, it uses near field communication (NFC) technology to allow customers to make transactions by simply holding their payment device close to a contactless payment terminal. This method is faster and more convenient than traditional methods and helps reduce the risk of transmission of bacteria and viruses. Contactless payments are accepted at a growing number of retailers and can be made using a contactless-enabled credit or debit card, or a mobile device such as a smartphone or smartwatch.

Contactless payments are faster than traditional payment methods, as customers don’t need to enter their card details or sign receipts. This can help reduce checkout times and improve customer experience.

Contactless payments use encryption and secure authentication methods to protect customer data, making them safer than traditional payment methods.
