As we all grow more conscious of the way viruses spread and are careful to protect ourselves and others, some customers may be hesitant to touch credit card terminals to pay for their purchases. Luckily, contactless payment technology is largely in use in many, if not most places.
Today, most credit and debit cards are contactless-enabled, meaning that the customer can just hold the card close to the terminal and the payment will register. This done using RFID (radio frequency identification) or NFC (near field communication). You can even use contactless payments with a cell phone. In the United States, there is no floor limit for contactless payments, although a signature may be required for larger purchases.
So what are the best terminals for contactless payment? Fortunately, there are plenty of options available for those merchants who are looking to replace their current terminals with terminals that allow contactless payments.
