Visa Tap Card

Contactless Indicator

The EMVCo Contactless Indicator indicates acceptance. When featured on a card, it means the card can be used to tap to pay. When featured on a checkout terminal or on store signage, it means a merchant accepts tapping to pay.

contactless Symbol

The EMVCo Contactless Symbol indicates where you tap your contactless card on the checkout terminal to make a payment.

Once you are prompted to pay (by the cashier, a light on the checkout terminal, etc.), place your contactless card within 1 to 2 inches of the Contactless Symbol on the terminal and follow the prompts.

Contactless Symbol

Contactless Symbol

Just look for the Contactless Symbol at checkout.
Millions of places around the world accept contactless payments, including fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, retail pharmacies, vending machines, taxis and more.

Your contactless card just needs to be within 1 to 2 inches of the Contactless Symbol to initiate a payment.

Contactless Symbol

It works best when your contactless card is held flat over the Contactless Symbol , versus held at an angle.
Actual physical tapping of the card to the surface is not necessary.

Yes. If you don’t see the Contactless symbol on the checkout terminal, you can still insert your contactless card, just like any other debit card.

  • Each Harbor Bank Contactless Debit Card carries the same trusted security as a Harbor Bank Debit chip card.

  • The one-time code generated every time a Harbor Bank Contactless Debit Card is used at an in-store contactless-enabled terminal protects your payment information, making it extremely effective in reducing counterfeit fraud.

  • You can't pay accidentally—your Harbor Bank Contactless Debit Card must be within 2 inches of the terminal for the transaction to take place. And you won't be billed twice, even if you accidentally tap twice.

  • Tapping to pay with your Harbor Bank Contactless Debit Card helps you avoid touching surfaces at checkout.
