Contactless Payments

Your Seasons FCU Visa Debit Card has contactless payments built-in to help limit your contact with physical buttons. The embedded chip technology helps to speed up and secure your transactions.

Contactless payments are easy and fast with no hassles. Just tap, pay and go.

What is a contactless card and what are the benefits?

A Contactless card payment utilizes a embedded technology, allowing cardholders to “wave” their Contactless card over a Contactless-enabled point-of-sale (POS) terminal. The embedded technology transmits the payment info to the Contactless-enabled terminal using a one-time use code with each transaction. These new features allow for a secure, fast, and easy transaction process.

 

How do I make a Contactless card transaction?

Verify that there is a Contactless symbol on the transaction terminal. Tap or hold your Seasons FCU Visa debit card within 3 inches or so to a transaction terminal.

 

How secure are Contactless cards?

Every Contactless card payment transaction includes a one-time-use, dynamic data for every transaction. This same data cannot be used for other transactions. In addition, each Contactless device must have its own unique secret key and this key is never transmitted.

 

How do I use my card if a store’s terminal does not have the Contactless
symbol/feature?

Your new card also includes an embedded microchip and magnetic stripe so that if you find your favorite stores have not updated their transaction terminals, you can use your new card in the same way you had previously used your card.

 

Will I still have to sign or enter a PIN for my card transaction?

Yes, depending on the merchant you could still be required to provide your signature or enter a PIN to authorize a transaction.

 

Will I need to update my expiration date and CVV in any third-party vendors (Amazon, etc.) where I’ve saved my payment info?

Yes, you may need to update your card’s expiration date and CVV number with any vendors where you have saved your card information.
