Visa payWave

Wave goodbye to cash.

Visa payWave is the new way to pay for low value, everyday purchases in less than a second

Visa payWave enables you to make ‘contactless’ payments using a standard credit or debit card. There’s no need to insert the card into a terminal, sign your name or enter a PIN. Instead, you simply ‘wave’ your card in front of a special ‘contactless’ card-reader. Transactions take place in less than a second.

It’s fast, convenient and secure.
