M&M Meat Shops’ 470 Canadian stores will soon begin accepting Visa payWave contactless payment cards. The company, based in Kitchener, Ontario, is the largest specialty frozen food retailer in Canada.

The deployment of Visa payWave 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.
