In Armenia, they began to use the contactless Visa cards

In mid -December, a promising project was launched in Armenia, thanks to which the process of cashless calculation was much facilitated.

According to the already widespread method, the buyer transfers a bank card to the cashier, and he leads it through the terminal, after which it is necessary to enter the PIN code, sign on the check that remains in the trade institution. When using the contactless Visa card, it is enough to bring it to the reader – and after a few seconds the payment will be made. A similar procedure can be performed both in the supermarket and in the beauty salon where the person received the service, and in the casino, where he came to have fun.
