In this guide, the term "contactless card" refers to a contactless-enabled card (supported brands include Visa®, Mastercard®, American Express®,
Discover®, and Interac®) or other items such as a key fob, mobile tag, or mobile device (e.g., a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch; the cardholder is
responsible for any related software on their mobile device including downloading any required apps and loading their card information into their digital
wallet).
Maximum Contactless Dollar Value (CDV)
To determine the maximum CDV for a card type, contact us.
Credit cards: If a credit card is tapped for an amount that exceeds its maximum CDV, the PAYD PIN Pad will
display "CONTACTLESS TRANSACTION LIMIT EXCEEDED" (see message on page 77).
Debit cards: If a debit card is tapped for an amount that exceeds its maximum CDV, the PAYD PIN Pad will
display "MUST INSERT CARD" (see message on page 78).
Tips for proper card tap/wave:
The card must be within 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) of the PAYD PIN Pad's display screen, but it does not have to
touch it.
The card must be tapped or waved by itself. It should not be waved while in a wallet with other cards.
