Find out how the contactless payment works
If the terminal is marked with the typical symbol you can use your card to make contactless payments as follows:
-
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 50.
