Visa payWave
Secure, contactless technology that will help you spend less time at the register.
Visa payWave lets you breeze through a check out faster since there’s no need to fumble for cash or enter your PIN. You can simply wave the card in front of a secure reader and you’re on your way!
It’s all about choice!
One of the advantages of Visa payWave contactless technology is its ability to enable payment through new and compelling form factors beyond traditional payment cards, such as mobile phones and other consumer devices.
Easy and Convenient
For transactions under $100, just wave your Visa payWave-enabled card in front of a contactless reader and go – there’s no need for a signature or pin. Visa payWave is accepted at Australia’s leading retailers, including Coles, Woolworths, McDonald’s, 7-11, JB Hi-Fi, Bunnings and Caltex. Shopping for everyday items has never been easier.
Contactless Technology
Visa payWave allows for faster transactions and increased convenience while still maintaining Visa’s high-security standards. A chip is embedded in the card, sending information to the secure reader at the point of sale. In addition, cardholders remain in control of their cards during the entire transaction, further reducing the risk of fraud.
- Visa payWave-enabled cards are backed by Visa’s Zero Liability Policy and are as secure as any other Visa chip card. They carry the same multiple layers of security, which ensures that you are not responsible for fraudulent or unauthorised transactions.
- Visa payWave cards only work when the card is within 4cm of the card reader and the payWave terminal can only process one transaction at a time. Because your Visa payWave card doesn’t leave your hand during the transaction, you remain in control of your card at all times
- Visa’s Zero Liability policy covers Australian and New Zealand-issued cards and does not apply to ATM transactions, transactions not processed by Visa or certain commercial card transactions. Cardholders should notify their issuer promptly of any unauthorised Visa use. Please consult your issuer for additional details.
Verified by Visa
Verified by Visa adds an extra layer of security – at no additional cost – when you shop online with participating retailers.
When you shop online with a participating retailer you may be asked to provide extra information. We use this to check that you are you. This information will not be given to the retailer. This added security provides assurance to you, the retailer and to us that your card is not being fraudulently used.
Once you’ve provided the requested information, we’ll check the information, after which your purchase will proceed. Without this information, the store may not accept your payment. Additional cardholders can also use Verified by Visa (with their own card and personal information).
