Contactless EMV Card
What is a contactless EMV card?
Contactless cards allow for purchases with a simple tap of your card to pay at checkout. Your Contactless EMV debit card provides all the same security advantages as chip cards, but with a much faster “tap and go” experience. Contactless EMV cards eliminate the frustration of waiting on a chip transaction, while providing the same EMV-level security.
Is my debit card a contactless?
You can tell if your debit card has contactless capabilities by looking for the contactless symbol on the lower right of your card 
How does a contactless debit card work?
Contactless cards use a hidden, embedded computer chip and antenna. After you tap your contactless card at checkout, payment details are sent securely to the merchant. The data that is passed to the merchant is unique to that specific transaction and cannot be replicated. You’re in control because your debit card never leaves your hand at checkout.
Where can I make contactless payments?
Simply tap to pay anywhere you see the contactless symbol at checkout. If you don’t see the contactless symbol, your debit card can still be used by inserting your chip or swiping at checkout.
How close does the “tap” have to be to the checkout reader?
Typically, when you tap your card at checkout, it must be within an inch of the contactless symbol on the terminal at the counter. Please note that if you have more than one contactless card in your wallet, you should remove the specific card you would like to use rather than tapping your wallet against the reader.
Do I have to treat my debit card in any special way?
Treat your contactless card as you would any other card. Always know where your card is and keep it in a safe place. As a reminder, never write your PIN on your card.
Do I need to turn it on/off?
Contactless cards contain no battery and are always on and ready to use. If you prefer to block your card in between purchases for extra security, you may do so in our mobile app under “Manage Card Controls”.
Is my card secure?
Yes! Contactless cards provide the exact same level of security as EMV chip cards. In fact, contactless is even more secure because the cardholder name is not passed in the transaction data. No accidental payments can be made as your contactless-enabled card must be close to the reader at checkout to work. Even if you tap more than once at checkout, you’ll only get charged once for your purchase.
What do I do if my debit card has been lost or stolen?
If you’ve lost your card or you suspect unauthorized activity on your account, please immediately call us at 833-369-0497.
