Contactless payment

Yes, as normal. The card has the card number and CVV2/CVC2 code.

Each country has an agreed maximum amount per payment. The limit for individual purchases in Norway is NOK 500 and the maximum accumulated amount is NOK 700. Abroad, there are limits (for example, £25 in the UK.)

There is no special price, either to get one or to use one.

Do I risk paying for another customer’s products if I’m too close to a terminal?

No, in that case you would need to hold the card against the terminal that the other customer was going to use. You also have to hold the card 4 cm or closer to the terminal in order for the transaction to go through.

The security of the payment itself is just as good. The customer is also subject to very good consumer protection for contactless payments.

For extra security, you will sometimes be asked to insert the card in the payment terminal and enter the PIN.

Yes, most card products will be upgraded with this functionality. The new contactless card will normally be sent to you when the existing card expires.
