payments?
• Require no physical contact
between the consumer payment
device and the physical point-of-sale
(POS) terminal.
• User pay through card or device
• Close proximity (less than 2-4
inches)
• The payment account information is
communicated wirelessly (via radio
frequency (RF)

9. Moving Cashless
“We know that money often passes from hand to
hand and can collect all kinds of bacteria and
viruses. We advise people to wash their hands
after handling banknotes and try not to touch
their face. Wherever possible, it is advisable to
use contactless payments to reduce the risk of
the infection spreading.” - WHO
The World Health Organization recommends
ditching cash in favor of contactless payments to
prevent the spread of COVID-19.

11. Benefits
Contactless payments are secure payment
transactions that don’t require physical
contact between the payment device,
such as a dual-interface EMV chip card,
NFC-enabled mobile phone or wearable,
and the acceptance device.
• Improved Transaction Speeds
• Consistent Consumer Experience
• Additional Payment Devices
• Strong Security
• Reduced Cash Handling
• Increased transactions volume
• Convenience for Merchants
• Contactless payments use the international
standard ISO/IEC14443 for contactless
communications that is being adopted
worldwide for financial payments and
leverage the existing payments
infrastructure.
• “Cool” Factor -

the next 18 months
• 82% of consumers view contactless as the cleaner way to pay
• Contactless cards are up to 10 times faster than other
payment methods

15. Contactless Payments - Cardholder Verification Limit (CVM))
Authorities, banks & card networks in many countries have set higher transaction limits for contactless payments.

16. Risk Involved
• RFID tags can be attached to cash, clothing, and
possessions, or implanted in people, the possibility
of obtaining personally-linked information.
• Remotely steal money from bank cards equipped
with RFID chips using self-made contactless readers,
capable of scanning such bank cards.
• Criminals can extract card numbers and expiration
dates from these cards. From here, they will be able
to carry out transactions and fabricate a clone with
a magnetic stripe without the consent of the bank
account’s owner.
• Crime Expectation research : Cybercriminals will
steal an estimated 33 billion records in 2023.

HCE enable Devices (Mobile,
Tablets, POS etc.)

20. The Overview
The contactless connection between the
devices is conducted via radio signal
(Radio Frequency Identification
technology). NFC-chip uses a special
radio frequency (13.56 MHz), which
works only if the devices are close to
each other.
Enabled by NFC chips that are found in most
modern smartphones and tablets, as well as in
many smartwatches and smart bracelets.
Chips can transfer encrypted data from a
customer’s bank card to another chip, for
example, in a POS terminal at a store.
The data exchange takes 1-2 seconds,
followed by a successful payment.

NFC APPROACH:
● Merchant can initiate the NFC payment through their app, while consumer can
initiate the payment by scanning the merchant QR code, or punching the
merchant ID.
● Customers will be assigned a NFC card which they can top-up using their wallet
balance.
● They can then use their NFC enabled cards to pay to the registered merchants
by tapping their cards to the merchant's NFC enabled mobile phones.
● Admin will manage and assign the NFC cards from the admin panel

30. ● In coming days, we might see
acceleration in the adoption of
contactless payments.
