Is my information safe when paying with Visa payWave?
Visa payWave transactions are just as secure as magnetic stripe transactions and are processed through the same reliable payment network. And, because you remain in control of your payment device during Visa payWave transactions, the risk of fraud is reduced. Visa payWave also generates a unique digital watermark for every transaction to prevent unauthorized transactions. Active cardholder participation is required to perform a transaction, as the card or Visa Micro Tag must be within 1-2 inches of the secure reader that accepts Visa payWave payments and must be correctly oriented to be processed. Additionally, a checkout terminal can process only one device at a time, so transaction errors are minimized.
