How is my Expressions Paywave NFC Card more secure?
Your Expressions Paywave NFC Card never leaves your hand when you make a payment so you're always in control. This gives added security to the card.
What if I am just passing by near a terminal and an accidental transaction takes place?
The contactless payWave technology works only when the card is waved at a maximum range of 4 cms. Hence, even if you are a small distance from the terminal, no accidental transaction can take place. Also, your card still requires a 4 digit ATM Pin for every transaction, making the experience completely secure. Plus the cashier must first enter the amount on the EDC machine before the card is tapped or waved and payment processed.
What if I wave the card twice at the terminal? Will I be charged twice?
No. Even if you tap or wave more than once at the terminal, you will only get billed only once for your purchase.
Can I use it for contactless payment if the card is in my wallet or purse?
As long as the card is within a 4 Cm range, and is not being blocked by any metal object which may prohibit the signal, you can use the card even from your purse or wallet.
How will I come to know if the transaction is successful?
You will receive a chargeslip from the merchant, and also receive an SMS/Emailer on your registered contact details.
