No. However, the card should be close (within 1-2 inches) to the Contactless Symbol on the contactless-enabled terminal.
The terminal reads the card best when it is flat over the Contactless Symbol, versus at an angle.
You should hold your contactless card to the contactless-enabled terminal for 1-2 seconds.
No. Contactless technology requires the merchant to first initiate the payment, and the contactless card must be held in close proximity (1-2 inches) to the terminal for a transaction to take place.
You can still use your card by inserting it, or by swiping your card at the checkout terminal.
