Q. Which phones are compatible with Allied Tap & Pay?
Currently, this service is available on all type of Android phones (Android operating system) with NFC technology. This feature is currently not available on mobile having IOS operating system (iPhone-Apple).
Q. How does Allied Tap and Pay Works?
Mobile Tap & Pay works through a technology called Near Field Communication (NFC). Here’s how it works:
- Tokenization: Tokenization is a data security technique that involves replacing sensitive card information with unique, non-sensitive data elements called tokens. Using Tokens, Cardholders will be able to perform transactions using their Smartphones with a simple tap on the POS terminal. As tokens are used instead of actual card numbers, potential fraud is mitigated. Instead of using your real card number, a unique token is generated for each transaction.
- NFC Activation: When you want to make a payment, you open your mobile payment app and hold your phone near an NFC-enabled POS (Point-of-Sale) terminal. This activates a short-range communication signal between the phone and the terminal.
- Authentication: Before the transaction is processed, you may be required to authenticate the payment. This can be done using methods such as fingerprint recognition, face ID, PIN, or a secure lock screen.
- Transaction Processing: Once authenticated, the token representing your payment card is transmitted via NFC to the POS terminal, which then sends the payment information securely to the bank or payment processor. This process happens in seconds.
- Confirmation: Once the transaction is approved, the terminal will notify you, often with a sound or visual cue (like a checkmark or receipt), and the payment is complete. Bottom of Form
