It’s a no-brainer that using your phone for transactions instead of touching worn out keypads and pens at checkout is faster and prevents the spread of germs. But it’s also a safe way to pay.
The near field communications (NFC) technology used in contactless payments is one of the safest payment options, which is why Wescom members can now securely and easily add their Wescom Visa® Credit or Debit Cards to Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, or Google Pay within the Wescom Mobile Banking App.
Adding extra security protections can also help more card users feel more inclined to make the switch to digital wallets. When adding a card to your digital wallet, Wescom cardholders have an option to receive a one-time passcode if their account requires extra authentication to verify their card information.
But no matter how you want to pay, physical card or digital wallet, it’s safe to do so with Wescom.
Please know that that Wescom will never call you to ask for your information, such as a security code you may have received via text or email, passwords, your account number, debit card number, credit card number, or online banking credentials. If you receive a call or text message asking you for personal information, contact Wescom immediately. Report the incident by visiting the Security Center or call us at 1-888-4WESCOM (1-888-493-7266) to let us know.
