5 Reasons To Get On Contactless Payment

• It's Relatively Safe

One of the biggest concerns with contactless payment is whether or not it's safe especially when your phone gets stolen or lost. Rest assured though, both Apple Pay and Samsung Pay require some sort of authentication for each transaction be it via fingerprint or passcode.

Android Pay on the other hand will require an authentication after the third consecutive payment. The good thing is though, each payment is limited at $100 for contactless transactions.
