Are contactless debit cards and credit cards safe?

Yes. Here’s why:

• They are just as safe as EMV chip cards! Just like with a chip card, each transaction is accompanied by a one-time code that securely protects your payment information.
• You can’t pay accidentally—your card or device must be within 1- 2 inches of the terminal for the sale to register. And you won’t be billed twice, even if you accidentally tap twice.
