Find out how the contactless payment works

If the terminal has the specific symbo, you can use the contactless function of your card by doing the following:

You see the amount on the display of the POS terminal
Place the card close to the POS terminal symbol
The terminal gives an audible and light signal, notifying that the transaction is completed

In case of contactless payments abroad the payment amount below which PIN is not required is different and is determined by the Bank which services the terminal and by the international card organisations (ICO).

For example, in Europe the average payment limit below which no PIN is required is EUR 25.
