Be in control – Contactless-enabled cards or devices never leave your hands to make a payment
• No accidental payments – Contactless-enabled cards or devices must be close to the reader at checkout to work
• Not billed twice – even if the card is tapped more than once at checkout, you only get billed once for your purchase
