Visa Tap to Pay is a new contactless method of payment – the latest evolution in Visa payments. It is a simple, secure and quick payment method. The technology enables cardholders to ‘Tap’ their card on a contactless Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminal to make transactions up to ₹2,000, rather than ‘swiping’ or ‘dipping’ their card into PoS terminals.
Visa Contactless cards have a tiny antenna embedded into the chip which securely transmits payment instructions to and from a specially adapted card terminal. These cards feature a distinctive contactless mark and PoS terminals for Contactless Cards will also feature this contactless symbol.
At DBS Bank, we’re always looking for ways to make life easier for you. Introducing Visa Tap to Pay enabled DBS Bank Debit Cards will let you make quick and easy transactions. And we want you to have access to the latest features and benefits. Visa Tap to Pay enabled debit cards will be issued when:
