How It Works
Your RBC® Visa* card includes an embedded chip which, when waved in front of a Visa payWave reader, passes the necessary payment details for the transaction wirelessly, using short-range radio waves.
Paying with Visa payWave is quick, easy and secure. Transactions are authorized, processed and billed in the same secure way as all Visa transactions.

If you don´t see the payWave symbol in-store, your card can still be used by swiping it or inserting it into the terminal, just like a regular Visa card.
1) A signature or PIN may still be required in some instances.
