But what makes contactless payments through Contactless Visa SBI Credit Cards so safe and convenient? Well, it’s rather simple. Contactless cards use a technology called Near Field Communication (NFC), which is based on a radio frequency field to enable communication between NFC devices when they are brought together or closer to each other. When you wave your contactless card over a contactless terminal, the radio frequency helps you complete your purchase. With the merchant typing the amount for deduction on the card machine and this feature working only when the card and machine are less than 4 cm apart, this feature also protects you against any fraudulent purchases – making it one of the safest digital transaction methods. Contactless payments also offer a smoother and quicker checkout experience.
With SBI Card, #CashlessConfidence comes easy because you don’t have to touch the POS machine, swipe the card or enter the card PIN. So, get set to explore a range of categories with the new touchless transaction limit of Rs 5,000 and avail cashback if you are a first time contactless card user- all with a single tap!
