Overview

Visa payWave is a new “contactless” feature included on some RBC^® Visa* cards for no added fee. It lets you pay for purchases at Visa payWave-accepting locations without having to swipe or insert your card and in most instances a signature or PIN is not required.

Simply look for the payWave symbol at merchant checkouts, wave your RBC Visa card in front of the secure reader and you´re on your way. Transactions are authorized, processed and billed in the same secure way as all Visa transactions.

No more looking for exact change and no more pockets full of coins. Visa payWave is fast, convenient, and the ideal way to pay for small everyday purchases.

Security and Protection

Visa payWave uses chip technology to provide you with one of the most secure contactless payment systems in the marketplace. The card does not leave your hand and you´re in control the entire time. In addition, you continue to be protected against fraudulent transactions under the Visa Zero Liability policy, which means you are not liable for fraudulent charges provided you take reasonable precautions to protect your PIN and your card, as set out in your RBC Royal Bank Visa Agreement. Transactions also continue to be protected with Purchase Security and Extended Warranty Protection.
