With the my debit card, clients can pay for purchases more quickly and simply
Today National Bank is announcing the launch of its new my debit contactless debit card, which allows clients to make purchases simply, quickly, and completely securely.
The new card, equipped with the Interac Flash feature, allows clients to make purchases of $100 or less at a merchant without having to enter their personal identification number (PIN). Payment is made immediately by holding the debit card in front of the sales terminal.
Clients who use a National Bank debit card will receive the new my debit card progressively over the coming months.
The launch of a new contactless debit card is the latest in a series
of new products and services, including the recently unveiled new
nbc.ca site, new ABMs, Apple Pay and Google Pay for credit cards, and
a mobile app for businesses.
Highlights
- With the new contactless debit card, purchases of $100 or less
can be made instantly at a merchant without having to enter a PIN,
which simplifies the client's day-to-day transactions.
- Payments made using contactless technology are just as
secure as other methods. The client's PIN will be requested during
their initial transaction and then randomly after a certain number
of contactless transactions. Clients also benefit from additional
protection, offered by the Bank, in the event of fraudulent
transactions.
- Clients can decrease their
contactless payment limit at their convenience or even deactivate it
by setting their limit to zero. Once deactivated, the feature can
also be reactivated upon request.
- Clients who
use a National Bank debit card will receive the my debit card
progressively over the coming months. Their PIN and terms of use
will remain the same.
- In the next few months,
the Bank will continue to simplify and enhance its clients'
experience by rolling out a brand new transaction site for Personal
Banking clients, new online mortgage features and a mobile
point-of-sale solution for businesses.
