Frequently Asked Questions

What are contactless payments?

Contactless payments use short-range wireless technology to make secure payments between a contactless card or payment-enabled device and a contactless-enabled checkout terminal. When you tap your card or device near the Contactless Symbol , your payment is sent for authorization.

Are contactless payments safe?

Yes. Here’s why:

  • Just like with a chip card, each transaction is accompanied by a one-time code that securely protects your payment information.
  • You can’t pay accidentally—your card or device must be within 1- 2 inches of the terminal for the sale to register. And you won’t be billed twice, even if you accidentally tap twice.

How close does my card or device need to be to the contactless checkout terminal?

Your card or device just needs to be within 1-2 inches of the Contactless Symbol .

How do I hold my card or device at the checkout terminal?

It works best when your contactless card or device is held flat over the Contactless Symbol, instead of at an angle.

Can I use my contactless card outside the U.S.?

Yes. Millions of places around the world accept contactless payments, wherever you see the Contactless Symbol .

If contactless payment is not available at a location, you can still use your contactless Star One Visa® card at an EMV chip terminal by inserting your card, or at a magnetic stripe terminal by swiping your card.

How do I upgrade my existing Visa card to a Visa contactless card?

There are two ways to request to upgrade to a Visa contactless card:

  1. Log in to online banking and complete the "Card Order Request" form.
    • Checkmark the box "Upgrade to Contactless Card(s)"
  2. Speak to a Call Center Representative and request to upgrade to a Visa contactless card.

When does my Visa card expire?

Visa cards now will have a five (5) year expiration date.
