Pay contactless, in one second

Yes. Transactions are protected like a standard card payment: data encryption and a unique token per transaction. The card must be within 5 cm of the terminal to be read.

Most often: contactless limit reached, insufficient balance or a blocked card. Above €50 or after several quick payments, the terminal will ask for your PIN — this is normal.

No. Even if you tap the card several times, only one transaction is recorded.

No. The feature is built into your physical card and available as soon as it is activated.

The daily contactless limit varies by bank and card type. It is generally set at €50 per transaction, with a limited number of transactions per day. For specific details, check your card terms.

A contactless card uses NFC (Near Field Communication) technology to communicate with a payment terminal. When the card is near the terminal, the payment information is transmitted without physical contact.

At Veritas, simply order your payment card online and you will receive a virtual payment card and a contactless physical payment card.

To pay contactless with a phone, enable the NFC feature and add your card to a mobile payment app. Then hold your phone near the payment terminal to complete the transaction.

You need a charged, working phone to make a contactless payment with your smartphone.

Contactless payment offers great convenience, reduces waiting time at checkout, cuts the need to carry cash and minimises physical contact with payment terminals.
