Amana Bank introduces Visa PayWave contactless cards

Amana Bank now encourages all its customers to embrace the change of PayWave enabled Visa Debit Cards in order to experience a more secure, fast and convenient payment solution. Customers can now make payments by simply tapping or waving their Debit Cards at the PayWave enabled POS machine instead of the traditional swipe technology. Commenting on the launch of PayWave to its customers, Amana Bank’s Vice President – Retail Banking & Marketing Siddeeque Akbar said “PayWave technology brings in so much convenience and safety to our customers with the ability of having to pay as you go while eliminating the risk of fraudulent transactions as the technology permits the customer to always possess the card when making payments.” Visa PayWave uses the same EMV chip technology as other Visa chip cards, which comes with multiple layers of security to keep the card safe. Each transaction is accompanied by a one-time code that protects your card information from any unauthorized usage. Visa PayWave uses short-range wireless (Near Field Communication) technology to make secure payments between a contactless card and a contactless-enabled POS terminal. Amãna Bank is the country’s first and only Licensed Commercial Bank to operate in complete harmony with the globally growing non-interest based participatory banking model.
