Alhambra Credit Union is constantly working to improve your banking experience.
Your new, contactless card allows you to make purchases quickly, securely, and hassle-free. A simple tap of the card at checkout terminals with the contactless symbol and you’re on your way.
- Contactless cards are the most secure method of payment available at this time. These cards are extremely difficult to counterfeit or copy when used with a contactless-enabled terminal or ATM.
- Contactless technology offers convenience without sacrificing security. Contactless cards and devices contain an embedded chip and a radio frequency (RFID) antenna that provide a wireless link with the contactless reader. When the card or device is tapped against the reader, information is transmitted in a highly secure manner within a fraction of a second.
- Contactless cards use the same secure system as chip cards, so you can be confident when paying. Visa® contactless cards include robust security features, which safeguard your information and protect you against fraud
- Use your new, contactless card the same way as your old card when conducting phone and online transactions, getting cash, checking your balance, and more.
- Because your contactless card has a chip and a magnetic stripe, you can use it just like your old card, even if merchants don’t have contactless-enabled terminals. Please use caution, however, when shopping with merchants that don’t have contactless or chip card terminals. Any time a card is swiped instead of inserted, the card could be compromised, leading to more frequent card reissues.
Watch our for your new card on your next reissue.
