What is ‘contactless technology’?
Whether it’s grabbing a coffee, a quick bite to eat or some last-minute groceries, contactless technology is the fastest, more convenient way to pay with your NAB cards.
You don’t need to swipe your card or enter your PIN for purchases under $100.
Benefits
It’s easy to use
There’s less need to carry cash, which means less time fumbling for change or lining up at an ATM.
It’s controlled and secure
Your transaction gets processed through reliable and secure networks. You’re in control because your card never leaves your hand at the checkout.
It’s fast and convenient
Contactless payments are up to four times faster than using your card the usual way or paying with cash. If your purchase is under $100, there’s no need to enter your PIN.
How it works
Using contactless technology is easy.
- First, show your card to the merchant.
- Once they enter the amount for your purchase, follow the prompts on the terminal and hold your card in front of the reader.
- You’ll hear a beep, and in a matter of seconds, all four green lights will flash.
- The transaction went through. Collect your receipt if you would like one, and you’re on your way.
