Visa® payWave

Introducing a new wave of ease and convenience

Visa payWave is a new payment feature that lets you check out faster since you don’t need to fumble for cash. With Visa payWave, you simply wave your Visa card in front of a secure reader, and you're on your way. Most of the time, a signature is not required for purchases under $25, plus, you retain control of the card during the transaction, which reduces the risk of fraud.

Over 32,000 retailers from 20 top brands accept Visa payWave payments, and the list is rapidly growing. Visa payWave makes it simple to save time every day—at quick service restaurants, drugstores, movie theaters, convenience stores, and more.
