Canada's Second Cup deploying contactless payments
Visa Inc. announced that Canadian coffee shop Second Cup has joined a growing roster of Visa payWave contactless payment enabled merchants, which will enable consumers to simply wave the card when making every day transactions like purchasing coffee.
Some 360 Second Cup stores in Canada will be equipped with Visa payWave enabled terminals by March 31.
The deployment of Visa payWave enabled Visa cards and point-of-sale terminals is closely aligned with Visa’s migration to chip card technology in Canada. Visa employs a layered approach to its fraud prevention efforts, including technology on the card itself as well as on Visa’s processing network to help heighten security efforts. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/contactlessnews-4.gif)
