Contactless Payment Processing Solutions
Contactless payments are becoming more common every day.
Contactless Payments
Since technology is advancing rapidly nowadays, contactless payment methods are being introduced to the U.S and they are becoming more common every day. The majority of transactions are processed on NFC-enabled payment terminals and this number continues to increase as well.
What are contactless payments?
There are two main forms of contactless payments: app or mobile wallet payment and using a card that has contactless technology embedded into it. Either way, consumers need to simply hold the card or their smartphone near the card reader to complete the transaction. Contactless payment allows customers to buy stuff or obtain services without having to insert or swipe the card into a POS device, handle the card to personnel or enter PINs. This ensures better customer service and satisfaction since more transactions can be processed in less time which reduces client wait time. This also means that customers can have a more positive experience and more clients can be served.
Using NFC technologies, tap-to-pay payments allow faster, more convenient, and more secure contactless transactions. Touchless payment provides better encryption and security than regular credit or debit cards that use magnetic strips and PINs. Moreover, mobile wallets require to verify transactions with a PIN, password, fingerprint or facial recognition before a contactless payment can be made. Therefore, mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, etc. are becoming more and more popular due to their simplicity and security.
The Influence of the Pandemic
