Contactless Cards, also known as Near Field Communication (NFC) works on a tokening basis like the chip but relies on tap technology to use it instead of inserting the card into the reader. Contactless is a more secure way to use your card since it is trading a tokenized number back and forth with the machine you are using for approval versus your full card number. You can also add this card to your Apple Pay or Google pay through your mobile device. Not every merchant or ATM is set up to use Contactless technology yet. To use this new technology, make sure you're checking the machine you want to use and see if it accepts Contactless.
