Your Debit Card is a Superstar!

In the 1970s, Debit Cards were first introduced in the USA as an alternative to cheque-based payments. The convenience of cashless payments made plastic Debit Cards exceedingly popular in the 1980s-1990s. In the era of Digital Banking, Debit Cards have evolved and paved the path for innovation in the banking sector. From contactless and cashless payments to mobile payments, Debit Cards have made our financial lives highly convenient, secure, and hassle-free. 

Let’s get to know about Debit Cards and what are the advantages of using one.

 

What is Cashless and Contactless Payment?

  • Cashless Payments

Cashless payment is one of the most significant advantages of Debit Cards. For instance, after shopping at a brick-and-mortar store, you can use your Debit Card for the payment. You can swipe your Debit Card at a POS (Point of Sale) terminal and enter your PIN to pay for the purchase. 

 
  • Contactless Payments

Contactless payment is the latest innovation in the world of Debit Cards. Contactless Debit Cards use NFC (Near Field Communication) technology to eliminate the need for users to swipe their Debit Cards or enter their PINs. Instead, you can tap or wave your Contactless Debit Card at a contactless-enabled POS terminal and pay for the purchase without entering your PIN.

For instance, any customer using AU Debit Card, can explore the ‘Tap & Go’ feature and enjoy contactless transactions up to INR 5,000. To enable the contactless feature, click here.

 

Mobile Payments

Even while shopping online through your smartphone, you can use your Debit Card to pay for your purchases. By simply entering your card details like card number, CVV and OTP you can pay for online purchases with your Debit Card.
