Visa payWave is the name of the contactless feature on Visa cards. While Visa has offered contactless technology since 2002, the Visa payWave name was introduced in Spring 2007. The feature has not changed—just the name. Visa payWave still offers cardholders speedier checkout, as well as freedom from swiping or signing for transactions under $25.
