Visa is continuing to expand its tap use-cases for both merchants and issuers. In addition to Tap to Add Card, we launched Tap to Confirm, a simple, safe and secure way to authenticate payments.

How does it work?

Merchants can instantly prevent and reduce fraud if they see suspicious activity. Instead of blocking a transaction or triggering cumbersome procedures to authenticate, they can simply ask the customer to confirm their card via a tap on their phone. This insures no one is using your card number who’s not supposed to. Even if they have access to your card, they can’t do anything with it without your phone.

Issuers can also use the technology to ask consumers to authenticate when transferring money or changing account information by tapping their card.
