HAPO Visa®  Contactless Credit and Debit Cards

Tap and pay to make in-person transactions a breeze 

HAPO Visa® credit and debit cards issued will have the contactless indicator on them. This means you can tap to pay for a fast, easy and secure checkout. Your HAPO Visa contactless credit and debit card has the same dynamic security as a chip card, so it’s also a secure way to pay!

Enjoy a faster checkout experience
Simply, tap and go! With the contactless technology, hold your card near the card reader to complete your transaction. Contactless payments make the checkout process quick and secure.

Your card data is secure
Each contactless transaction creates a unique, one-time code or password, reducing the security risks since it can only be read once by the card-processing company.  

You can still use it at traditional EMV enabled terminals
Your credit or debit card will continue to work with traditional EMV enabled terminals if a merchant is not ready for contactless, but for those merchants with a contactless-enabled card reader, tap and go to make the checkout process a breeze!
