Contactless Payments

Mobile NFC Payments

Near-Field Communication (NFC) utilizes the same tap-to-pay technology as contactless chips, but instead of using their Cards, individuals can load their payment information onto their NFC-enabled mobile phones.

In addition to the standard contactless features, mobile NFC helps to ensure a secure and protected shopping experience to gain consumer trust and confidence, enhance payment security at the point of sale, and enable consumer-preferred forms of payment such using a smart phone to make payments.

American Express® recommends using an integrated terminal that is both contactless and contact EMV-enabled.

How it works

Customers load their American Express Card information onto a secure NFC-enabled phone.

At checkout, customers tap or hold their NFC-enabled phone in close proximity to the contactless reader, which uses secure radio frequency technology to transfer transaction data.

The terminal sends data for authorization processing. If a customer wants a receipt, they can simply ask.
