Does RFID technology pose security or privacy problems?
MasterCard PayPass transactions are just as safe as, if not more safe than, traditional card payment transactions. MasterCard PayPass incorporates special security technology to prevent “replay” fraud when a MasterCard PayPass program is implemented as recommended by MasterCard. MasterCard PayPass also provides more consumer control, since the card doesn’t have to leave the hands of the consumer to be swiped by the merchant. Finally, MasterCard PayPass provides Zero Liability protection in North America, just like all MasterCard payment programs.
