Is My Card Contactless-Enabled?
Your Nibbles card has a chip with a near-field communication (NFC) antenna, which lets you make secure payments by holding your card close to a checkout terminal.
How to Pay with Contactless
When you're prompted to pay, tap your card on the terminal where you see the Contactless Symbol and hold it there for 1–2 seconds. Terminals usually read your card best when it's held flat over the Contactless Symbol, though some readers work better if you tap the chip directly on the payment reader.
Benefits of Contactless Payments
- Quick and convenient: Ideal for places like fast-food restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores.
- Simple: Just tap your Nibbles card on the checkout terminal to pay.
- Secure: Contactless payments are as safe as chip cards — each transaction uses a one-time security code to protect your payment information.
- Same benefits as a digital wallet: Contactless uses the same NFC technology as Apple Pay and Google Pay, so you get the same card benefits as swiping or inserting.
- Widely accepted: Tap to pay anywhere you see the Contactless Symbol — millions of stores worldwide accept it.
