What is a contactless payment?
A contactless payment is when you tap your physical card on the EFTPOS terminal to make a payment. If you have Apple Pay™ or Google Pay™ set up on your smartphone, this can also be used to make contactless payments.
You can look for the contactless symbol to see if the merchant you’re visiting accepts contactless payments. The contactless symbol looks like this.
