What is Paywave and how to use the card? No need to touch: contactless cards from Sberbank Contactless visa.
Today's innovations in the field of technology, appearing in the world, are designed to make life easier. Such are the well-known services Mastercard Pay Pass and VisaPay waves. The definition of contactless payment can be heard quite often, since it can be used to make absolutely any purchase without a card.
About Visa Paywave
Initially, the first experiments with contactless payment took place in the United States. As soon as the first successes appeared, and the device really started to work, they began to introduce it into cafes and popular restaurants, where there are always a lot of customers. Seeing that due to such a device it is possible to increase the number of customers served and ensure a good increase in profits, Japan, Canada, and the Philippines followed the example of American businessmen.
Over time, multiple terminals appeared that supported the contactless payment service, and banks began to develop new plastic products in order to introduce this system. The founder of the famous service on the territory of the Russian Federation was the invention of Mastercard called Pay Pass.
The active development and implementation of the system dates back to 2008, when one of the famous Five Star restaurants announced the possibility of using the contactless method by invoice. To date, Visa Paywave is starting to catch up with the already famous Pay Pass in terms of ratings. Sberbank is one of the first banks to support the growth prospects of this service.
Like the famous Pay Pass, Paywave's main goal is to simplify the process of paying for services. Cards equipped with PayWave technology require a special NFC chip and a special antenna. Due to them there is an instant write-off Money without direct contact with the terminal. The device at a short distance makes it clear how much you need to pay and sends a corresponding request to deduct it.
It should be noted that due to the use of this terminal, it is possible to exclude the possibility of re-debiting, since after the operation is completed, the contact between the card and the terminal is interrupted.
If a person has several cards with this function, then most likely the payment simply will not happen, and the money will remain safe and sound.
Speaking about how to use the card, there is nothing difficult here. In some cases, you can even not get it out of your wallet. There are others peculiarities use of Visa PayWave:
1. Today there is limit of 1000 rubles. If the payment amount exceeds, then you may need to enter a pin code or signature on the check.
2. Pay with Pay Wave compatible with Pay Pass terminals. However, here it is necessary to take into account the certification of the acquiring bank.
Using a card with contactless payment is very convenient for business people who count every minute. AT recent times, even modern smartphones have begun to possess such technology, which plays a significant role in creating comfortable payment conditions.
Turnstiles at metro stations with Paywave and Paypass
Subway pass payment is one of the most popular features used by Pay Wave payment.
You can replenish the account of the Troika transport card or just buy a ticket, you can in the following way:
- We apply a card with the Pay Wave function to a special device, where there is a mark in the form of the corresponding Visa logo
- We are waiting for the payment to go through and the information board will show the inscription: "Approved, you can go through."
- The cost of the purchased ticket is automatically deducted from the account
Cards with system support in Sberbank
To date, there are only three plastic products from Sberbank PJSC that can please their owners with the possibility of contactless payment:
1. Classic card. This is a debit product with no connectivity credit limit. The first year of service is 750 rubles, and the subsequent 450 rubles.
2. Debit and credit line of Aeroflot gold cards. This product is remarkable for those who often go on trips and travel with the famous Aeroflot airlines. So, for example, for each purchased ticket, you can collect miles, and later pay them for anything.
And although special devices have already been found that can read this chip, today the developers devote a lot of time to this area and continue to work on improving the system. It is worth noting that even the most notorious payment limit of 1000 rubles is already a small protective mechanism.
As an independent security measure, it can place the card in a plastic or metal case, which strongly jams the signal, so it will become inaccessible to scammers.
On the territory of the Russian Federation, Visa Pay Wave is considered one of the most popular methods of contactless payment. It really saves time and is great for use in an urban metropolis, when every minute counts. However, this is not the safest method of storing funds, so it is best to ensure for yourself minimum funds protection (purchase a cover for the card, or keep it away from the edge of the bag).
And for some, the emergence of contactless cards has become something unimaginable. In fact, contactless payment cards were back in 2002, but in testing mode, and only now Visa and MasterCard, having tested wireless payment technology over the years and setting security standards, have introduced contactless payment cards for general use.
Sberbank contactless card- this is the same bank card that provides the opportunity to pay through the terminal with one touch of the card to the terminal, currently within the limit of 1000 rubles. For a more expensive purchase, you need to enter the PIN code of the card. This technology is called Pay Pass and it is convenient and safe.
A contactless payment card is equipped with a special RFID antenna (radio antenna), with the help of which payment is made. Through this antenna, information about the owner is read from the card and transmitted via a secure channel to the bank, where the transaction is already being carried out.
How to use a contactless Sberbank card
The card can be used at all updated POS terminals (usually marked with a wireless payment icon). They are now almost everywhere.
To pay for the purchase, just bring the card to the terminal. It is not necessary to insert it into the receiver, the pin code must be entered only in case of payment in the amount of more than 1000 rubles, in the case of a smaller amount, the pin code is not required.
The process of paying with a contactless card consists of three steps:
- Bring the payment card close to the terminal or at a distance of 0.5 - 1 cm
- Fix the card in this position for a couple of seconds
- After the notification of successful payment appears on the terminal screen, the card can be removed
If the POS-terminal of the previous generation does not support the card, then payment is made as a regular card.
Sberbank contactless cards pros and cons
- Convenience of payment. The card does not need to be taken out of the wallet and inserted into the terminal, it is enough just to attach it for a couple of seconds and the purchase is made. It saves a lot of time, especially when shopping.
- card longevity. Since the card is not constantly inserted into the terminal receiver, physical contact of the card is eliminated and this increases the life of the card.
- Payment security. The risks of stealing money from the account by intruders are excluded.
As for the owners of outlets, some complain about the high cost of POS-terminals with support for contactless cards. As the saying goes, all good things come with a price. In this case, you will have to pay for the convenience of buyers.
Security of contactless MasterCard Pay Pass cards
It would be nice to think about the security of payments with contactless cards. Contactless payment technology has several levels of protection.
- The range of data transmission via NFC is only a few centimeters, so during the operation the reader must be placed close to the card, which is quite difficult to do unnoticed.
- There is another level of protection - restriction maximum amount contactless transaction: 1000 rubles. The limit of 1000 rubles without PIN is the recommendation of Visa and Mastercard in Russia. Payment on a large amount will be rejected or require additional confirmation (signature, PIN). When you try to consistently withdraw several amounts below the threshold, the additional protection system is also triggered.
- Next, you need to overcome more serious protection based on cryptography. The reading terminal must have cryptographic keys obtained from the acquiring bank and the payment system. Such keys are issued exclusively under an agreement with the bank that issued the card.
All this provides comprehensive protection and security of operations.
To date PJSC Sberbank can offer you the following bank cards with contactless payment technology for goods and services:
Classic Visa cards and MasterCard Contactless
Debit card Visa Gold Aeroflot

Conclusion
The Russians have a great opportunity to join more modern payment options. The contactless payment system has long taken a leading position abroad, and now Russian citizens can take advantage of its benefits.
Credit organizations try to keep up with the times and often offer the consumer financial services novelties. Some of them take root, some do not, and few have heard of some even after time has passed. Read below about what cards with contactless payment technology are, what are the pros and cons of this banking product.
Cards with contactless payment technology- these are cards that are equipped with an integrated chip and an antenna that transmit information about the payment via a radio channel to a contactless terminal.
These differ from ordinary cards in that with their help, payment for goods at the checkout can be made instantly, with one touch. You just bring the "plastic" to a special reader - and the purchase has already been paid for! You do not need to give the card to the cashier, additionally enter a pin code (if the cost of goods or services is less than a thousand rubles). Fast and convenient, right?
What are contactless cards?
Contactless cards There are both settlement and credit.
At the same time, there are contactless cards with payWave and PayPass technologies. For the MasterCard Worldwide payment system, this contactless payment technology is called PayPass, for VISA - payWave, respectively. There are no special differences between them, the methods of using such cards are almost the same.
And what about in Russia?
In our country, the first contactless payment using PayPass technology was made back in September 2008. However, the mass issue of such cards by domestic issuing banks began only in 2010.
Meanwhile, the mass introduction of such cards into everyday life in Russia has not yet been observed - the necessary infrastructure for contactless payments is still not sufficiently developed in our country.
How to use contactless cards?
Contactless payments can only be made in places where the MasterCard PayPass or Visa payWave logos are present. The buying process itself looks like this:
- you check the payment amount entered by the cashier;
- for a moment bring the contactless card to the reader;
- a sound signal sounds and an inscription appears on the display, which confirms the fact of payment;
- the terminal is turned off (this excludes the debiting of a double amount).
If the amount of your payment exceeds one thousand rubles (this is the established limit for Russia), then you will additionally need to enter a PIN code or receive a check from the cashier for signature. If you pay with a contactless card outside of our country, then the amount of the restriction will need to be clarified with the cashier. In some countries, exceeding a certain limit, it will be possible to pay for the purchase only by contact method.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any other payment method, contactless cards have their advantages and disadvantages.
The benefits usually include:
- record speed of the payment operation;
- convenience of payment;
- no need to transfer bank card to an outsider (cashier);
- no need to waste time entering a PIN code (up to the set limit);
- longer service life compared to conventional "plastic" (such a card wears out less, since it is less likely to be subjected to mechanical stress);
- the ability to use contactless cards in conventional ATMs or terminals;
- reception in more than 30 countries.
At the same time, contactless cards have the following disadvantages:
- the paucity of retail outlets in Russia that are ready to serve them (contactless equipment is an expensive pleasure, which they are not in a hurry to invest in). You can find the current list on the MasterCard and Visa websites;
- security (despite the fact that payment systems claim that contactless payments are reliably protected, in fact, fraudsters find ways to read data from such cards without the knowledge of their owners). To protect themselves, some contactless card users use special shielded wallets.
In order for the contactless card to serve you for a long time, and the money in the account to be whole, try
- do not bend the "plastic" so as not to damage the built-in antenna;
- avoid getting liquid on the chip;
- do not carry a bank card in places that are easily accessible for reading by fraudulent devices (in the pockets of trousers, bags, etc.);
- if you lose your card, call the bank immediately and block it.
Foreign banking systems have been using contactless payment methods for a long time, but for Russians this is just a novelty, causing some concerns about the safety own funds. Consider contactless cards of Sberbank, the pros and cons of their use.

Its main difference is a built-in chip with a special radio antenna (PFID-tag), which allows you to transmit information about the payment over the radio. Therefore, there is no need to enter a PIN code for identification. The main condition for carrying out an operation using a radio signal is the presence of a special POS terminal capable of receiving this signal.

Pros and cons when using
The popularity of the innovative product is explained by the advantages of the Sberbank contactless card. These include the following positive points:
- convenient payment option - there is no need to enter plastic into the payment terminal;
- high speed - the transaction takes a few seconds (fraudsters will not have enough time to intercept the data);
- for payments up to 1 thousand rubles, there is no need to enter a PIN code;
- money will not be debited twice for one purchase, after payment, the terminal emits a beep and immediately turns off;
- higher service life due to the absence of possible damage and demagnetization, as happens in conventional cards with constant contact with the terminal;
- the card is always in the hands of the client, which significantly increases the security of its use;
- ease of use allows the technology to be used in various fields.
Like any product, contactless debit and other products of this type have their drawbacks. Most of them are related to technical issues.
![](https://i1.wp.com/sbankami.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Clip2net_170704131828.png)
The main problem is the insufficient number of special POS terminals required for transactions. As a rule, the owners of retail outlets focus on the bulk of buyers who own traditional plastics, so they are in no hurry to install innovative terminals and spend additional funds on this. This limits the further use of the contactless payment method for goods and services. But every year the situation is changing for the better: fearing to lose solvent customers, the owners retail chains start promoting a new product.
The advantages of such a service are devalued by the established limit of 1 thousand rubles. with a one-time purchase. For residents of megacities, the average check size usually exceeds this amount, so you have to enter a PIN code, as in ordinary plastics.
Fraudsters are also interested in the innovative payment method, and there are already cases of using homemade RFID readers. The only way to protect against this is various covers that shield the radio signal.
