Touch-free bank cards revolutionize contactless payments

If you’ve received a credit or debit card recently, it may feature new contactless technology. How will you know? Look for a symbol on your card that resembles a sideways Wi-Fi icon.

Home Bank has started rolling out contactless cards, and though the process of using them may be unfamiliar, the benefits are great:

1. Speed. Contactless payments take an average of 15 seconds.
2. Security. Card details are encrypted against hackers.
3. Health. Contactless payments are recommended by the World Health Organization.
4. Ease. Don’t have a contactless card yet? Get these benefits now using your smartphone’s mobile wallet.
