What are contactless payments and tap to pay?

Contactless payments use short-range proximity technology to securely complete payments between a contactless card and a contactless-enabled checkout terminal. This technology allows you to tap your Regions credit card on the payment reader at checkout without needing to swipe your card or insert it into the payment reader. Look for the Contactless Indicator on the back of your card. If you have this feature, you can simply tap to pay with contactless technology by tapping your card on the contactless-enabled terminal (near the contactless symbol).
