Do you tap

[travcaine]

Always yes! It still grinds my gears when the machine accepts tap but the cashiers want to know nothing about it!

Does anyone where have any idea when the rest of the banks will start supporting the Garmin Pay tech?
Currently only Investec, FNB and Discovery

I thought the maximum you could tap for was R200? I tapped the other day for about R230.

So what is the maximum amount you can tap for?

 

[Smokey888]

I have tapped for 500+ in the past. it did request my pin

For most banks under R200 no pin is required Above R200 it asks for a pin.

Do you tap

If she is pretty (and willing)

 

[Cius]

Of late my tap always requires a pin. Not entirely opposed as it is not that much more effort and feels safer.

 

[Drifter]

When I can, I have to enter a PIN anyway, regardless of amount.

 

[deweyzeph]

I insist upon tapping my card if it's available. I've given up trying to explain to people why tapping is way more secure than the alternatives, they're the same kind of people who are hoarding toilet paper at the moment.

 

[Obieone]

Then you get the tellers that want to tap the card for you.

 

[Arex]

I prefer to tap especially for smaller purchases as its quick,
If the cashier takes my card then its always insert and pin.

 

[Nerfherder]

Your bank card on the machine at pay point
I feel uncomfy with it. Dunno why

Ignorance ?

Every time you dip your card you expose it to the inside of a payment terminal. Little bits of your ICC chip are scraped off and the end of its life is closer.

There is no risk for you at all. All the risk is on the vendor.

This drives me crazy. Just don't touch my card, full stop. It's funny how we're so conditioned in South Africa to hand over our debit and credit cards for the teller to insert it. You realise just how much if you go overseas.

 

[Nerfherder]

Tap and Pay is great - FNB's Tap and PIN sucks. I mean why bother.

You don't have to hand over your card and you still get the security benefit.

 

[Nerfherder]

Depends on the shop.

The banks limit will decide if you need to put a pin in.

You shouldn’t hand over your card if you’re using chip and pin.

 

[Smokey888]

I wish Builders start to change their machines to accept Tap

 

[Nerfherder]

You shouldn’t hand over your card if you’re using chip and pin.

True - its a more recent thing now with Tap and Go where they have allowed you to do it yourself though.

you can tap any amount - unless you mean tap without it asking for a pin?
then every bank is different like standard bank is R500 but randomly lower amounts some times it will ask for a pin. (personally wish they would set it lower or allow us to set that)

I agree, I would rather be entering a pin for every tap above 100bucks
