Make fast, easy and safe payments with your contactless card wherever you see the contactless symbol. Simply hold your card over the contactless-enabled POS terminal to pay for everyday items. There’s no need to enter a PIN, simply swipe your card or sign a receipt.
Key benefits
- Shorter queues and quicker ‘check-out’ at stores.
- No need to draw or carry cash for small amounts. With your contactless card, payment is even quicker than a cash payment.
- Your card never leaves your hand, resulting in increased security during the payment process.
- Cards cannot be read from a distance, only within close proximity to the card reader on the POS device.
How it works
- Absa payment device – Once the card has been inserted into an Absa payment device and the PIN has been entered, you will have to perform up to two more chip-and-PIN transactions to enable the card for contactless payments.
- Absa ATM – Once the card has been used at an Absa ATM to perform a financial transaction, you will have to perform up to two more chip-and-PIN transactions to enable the card for contactless payments.
- If your purchase is within the limit, you won’t need to enter your PIN.
- As an anti-fraud measure, you will occasionally be asked to enter your PIN.
