Merchant Services
NFC (Near Field Communication) payments let customers pay by simply tapping their contactless card, smartphone, or wearable device against an NFC-enabled reader. This technology delivers lightning-fast checkout, elevated convenience, and enhanced payment security.
How NFC Transactions Work
- The customer brings their contactless card or device near an NFC-enabled terminal.
- The device sends a secure encrypted token — not actual card data — to the terminal.
- The payment processor decrypts the token, verifies the card with the issuing bank, and approves the transaction.
- The transaction completes in seconds, and the funds are deposited into your merchant account.
