    CONTACTLESS CARDS

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


    Q1. What’s new in the Secure+ Contactless Card?
    Ans: Secure+ Contactless variant provides convenience of contactless payment along with the existing
    features offered on Secure+ Debit card.

    A Contactless card is a faster way to pay with your debit card for purchases under Rs.2000/- at
    participating stores. Instead of dipping (or swiping) your card on the merchant terminal, simply wave or
    tap your card on the contactless enabled terminal and pay without entering a PIN (for amount under
    Rs.2000/-).

    Q2. How will I know that my Axis Bank Secure+ Debit card is a Contactless card and the machine is
    enabled for contactless transactions?
    Ans: Look for this symbol on your Axis Bank card and also on the machine at the shop. This
    symbol, if present, means that your card is a Contactless card and the machine is enabled for contactless
    transactions

    Q3. I have the old Secure+ Debit card, will I be able to use it in contactless mode?

    Ans: No, the contactless mode is available only on the new card variant. However, the customer can still
    opt for a card replacement and get a contactless version at standard replacement charges which are
    currently applicable.

    Q4. How does the Axis Bank Secure+ Contactless Debit Card work?
    Ans: It contains a chip and an antenna (based on radio frequency). When you tap the card against a
    contactless enabled terminal, the details get transferred wirelessly from the card to the terminal and the
    payments get processed in a secure manner.

    Q5. How does Contactless Technology benefit me?


    Ans: Contactless cards benefits you through its enhanced convenience to pay and higher level of
    security. The convenience is by way of speed of payment through not having to enter your PIN for
    transactions below Rs.2000/-. It is also more secure as you are in control of the card at all times as the
    card does not leave your hand when you make the payment at the shop.

    Q6. Is my Axis Bank Secure+ Contactless Debit Card safe and secure?
    Ans: Yes, contactless technology uses secure encryption (the same as CHIP and PIN) so you can
    confidently use it. The maximum transaction value for a contactless transaction is capped at Rs.2000/-
    which further limits any possible loss. Furthermore, you continue to be protected through the lost card
    liability cover on your card. Just ensure you report loss of your card to Axis bank immediately on
    discovering the same.

    Ans:

    Look out for this symbol on the machine at the shop/store/outlet

    Just tap the card on the machine or keep it close to the terminal (for transactions
    below Rs. 2000/-)

    You will hear a beep/see a light and get the receipt for the contactless payment you have
    done

    Q8. When can I use my Axis Bank Secure+ Contactless Debit Card?
    Ans: You can use your contactless card wherever you see this symbol at the shop/store/outlet. It is
    ideal for transactions below Rs.2000 as a PIN and Signature is not required. So you do not need to count
    the change or worry about carrying enough cash.

    Card?
    Ans: Yes, you will be able to use your Secure+ Contactless Debit card, however, if the amount is above
    Rs.2000/- then you will have to use it like a regular debit card by either dipping (or swiping) it in the
    machine and you will also be asked to enter the PIN.

    Q10. Is there a limit on the value of goods I can purchase with my contactless card?
    Ans: No there is no limit on value of goods that you can purchase. For transaction value over Rs.2000/-
    you will have to use your card by either swiping or dipping it like any other EMV chip debit card.

    Q11. What if I am buying something online and the value is below Rs.2000/-?
    Ans: Contactless features works at a shop where there is a machine. There is no change in the way you
    transact online. This card works as your normal debit card when you are shopping/ paying bills online
    i.e. it will require a PIN or OTP and/or Verified by VISA (VBB) code online.

    Q12. Is this Rs.2000/- limit worldwide or only in India?


    Ans: The Rs.2000/- limit per transaction is only in India, if the transaction is over Rs.2000/- you will need
    to put in a PIN. Each country that has contactless cards has different rules and it also depends on the
    terminal which would be used at that time, in that country.

    Q13. Is there a daily limit on the amount of purchases done using contactless cards?
    Ans: Yes, there is a daily limit of 5 contactless transactions on this card, which means that only 5
    transactions below Rs.2000 will be permitted without two factor authentication, post which any
    transaction below Rs.2000 on that same day will require the card to be dipped and PIN to be typed.

    However, the limit on the amount is as per your credit limit on your credit card and the daily transaction
    limit on your debit card.

    Q14. Do I have to use contactless?


    Ans: No. You can use Secure+ Contactless card as regular CHIP and PIN card by dipping (or swiping) it in
    the machines. Contactless machines also accept CHIP and PIN cards.

    Q15. Can I still use the chip or the magnetic stripe on my Secure+ contactless card?
    Ans: Yes. If the shop doesn’t have a contactless machine installed, you can continue to dip (or swipe)
    your contactless Secure+ debit card just as you always have. You can also choose to use this option even
    if there is a contactless terminal available.

    Q16. How do I disable/turn off the contactless option?


    Ans: Contactless is a permanent feature of your card and can’t be disabled. You can still dip (swipe) your
    Secure+ Contactless debit card just as you always have and enter the PIN, if you don't want to make a
    purchase using contactless.

    Q17. How do I get a Secure+ contactless card?


    Ans: If you hold a Secure+ Debit card, you can apply for a replacement through branches. Replacement
    options are also available on internet banking and mobile banking.

    If you want to apply for a new Secure+ Debit card, you currently hold some other debit card, you can
    apply for the same at the branch /through internet banking (provided your account scheme is eligible
    for a Secure+ Debit card).

    Q18. How do I know when the contactless payment has been made?
    Ans: The machine at the shop/outlet will indicate that the payment has been made – a light, beep or
    indicator will let you know that the payment has been processed. You will get a receipt which means
    that the payment has been successful.

    Q19. Will I get receipt for all the contactless transactions?


    Ans: Please let the shopkeeper know that you need a receipt. However, the receipt is not directly
    available in some circumstances; for example, while paying for travel by tapping your card on an
    electronic ticket reader, or using a contactless card at a vending machine. And all contactless purchases
    are recorded on your statement and you will get to see them on your Axis Bank internet banking
    account and Axis Bank mobile app as well.

    Q20. How far from the contactless machine should I hold the card?
    Ans: Contactless cards and machines do not work beyond a distance of 4 cms. We would suggest that
    you remove the card from your wallet/purse/clutch and keep it on the machine.

    Q21. Can I accidentally be charged for a contactless transaction just by walking past a contactless
    terminal?
    Ans: No. Contactless machines and cards have a limited range. Your card needs to be within 4cms from
    the machine to be read.

    Q22. What if the contactless functionality does not work?
    Ans: There may be a small chance that the contactless functionality does not work straight away on your
    new card. Your card needs to be activated before the contactless functionality will work. If you use your
    card first on a transaction by inserting your card into a machine then putting a PIN, then contactless
    should work after this transaction.

    Q23. If I lose my Axis Bank Contactless Card, do I get lost card liability?
    Ans: Yes, Axis Bank Secure+ Contactless Cards provide cover upto 100% of the purchase limit as long as
    you report the loss of your card to Axis Bank immediately.
