What is a contactless payment?

Contactless payment is a secure method for you to purchase products or services via your WeSwap card by simply tapping your card near a point-of-sale terminal - leading to the nickname “tap-and-go”.

Any merchant who displays the contactless symbol can accept contactless payments.

Although you would not usually be required to enter your PIN, from time-to-time a chip & PIN transaction will be requested. This is designed to deter fraudulent use should your card be lost or stolen; each time a PIN is used it re-affirms you are in possession of your card.

Remember that, once your card's activated, you'll need to use it first with Chip and PIN to activate contactless payments.
