Ideal for everyday purchases, our new Teachers debit card supports contactless transactions.
The Benefits of Contactless Cards
1. Speed 
It is estimated that the average contactless payment can be completed twice as fast as traditional cards. With less processing and handling of cash occurring, transactions can be completed at a faster rate.
2. Security 
Contactless cards feature built-in fraud protection that ensures the same
transaction doesn’t occur twice, even if a user mistakenly taps more than once at the
checkout. Additionally, if a card is fraudulently intercepted, the details and numbers
linked to the card cannot be decrypted as a unique code is used for transactions that don't correlate to card numbers.
3. Connectivity 
By connecting your card to your smartphone and other accessories like a smartwatch, you can make a payment without ever removing your card from your wallet!
