Tired of fumbling for cash or digging through your purse for your credit card? There's a new way to pay that's quick, easy, and safe: Tap to Pay!


What is Tap to Pay?

Tap to Pay lets you pay for things without using cash or your physical credit card. Instead, you can use your contactless credit card or your smartphone. It's becoming more and more common in stores and restaurants.


How Does It Work?

It's simple! If your credit card has the contactless symbol (it looks like a Wi-Fi signal), you can simply hold it near the payment terminal. Or, you can use your smartphone. Just add your credit card to your phone's digital wallet (like Apple Pay or Google Pay) and hold your phone near the terminal. It's just like magic!


Why Should You Use Tap to Pay?

  • Worry-Free: Reduces the risk of losing your card or having it stolen.

  • Effortless: No more searching for your wallet.

  • Speedy: Check out quickly and easily.

  • Clean: You don't have to touch the payment terminal.

Where Can You Use Tap to Pay?

You'll find Tap to Pay at many stores and restaurants. You might even be able to use it for public transportation and parking. Keep an eye out for the contactless symbol!

Is It Safe?

Yes, Tap to Pay is very safe. Your payment information is encrypted and protected. Since your card never leaves your hand, no one can steal a peek at your card number. Plus, it's much harder for someone to steal your card or your information when you use Tap to Pay.

Helpful Hints

  • Keep your card or phone close to the terminal.

  • Don't let anyone else use your card or phone to pay.

  • If you have any problems, just ask for help.
