How it works
1. Check you are using a card with the Visa payWave logo, then look for the payWave symbol at the checkout of participating merchants.
2. The cashier will enter the purchase amount, which is displayed on the payWave reader. When the first green light blinks, wave your card close to the reader.
3. Four green lights will appear and the transaction is complete!
Why it's safe
Visa payWave uses the latest payment technology to speed up your purchase transactions. You pay instantly, simply by waving your Visa payWave card over a secure contactless terminal in stores. And because the card never leaves your hands, you’re always in control.
Visa payWave is protected by the same high level of security as your current Visa Debit card. That includes Visa’s Zero Liability protection, which guarantees you are 100% protected from unauthorised transactions.
CUA has also limited payWave purchases to ten per day. Once this daily cap is reached, you will need to sign or enter your PIN to make further purchases.
Where to use it
You can use your CUA Visa payWave card at any participating merchant displaying the Visa payWave logo or contactless symbol.
