Contactless payments are transactions made by touching a contactless-enabled payment terminal with your Emirates Islamic Card, phone or connected accessories such as watches or rings.
Convenient - Contactless payments aren't limited to cards. The NFC technology in contactless readers can interact with phones and connected accessories such as watches or rings.
Simply unlock your phone or use your Emirates Islamic Credit or Debit card and tap seamlessly.
Secure - Emirates Islamic ensures a high level of security for your transactions as we’ve done for years. The inbuilt protection ensures that the same transaction isn’t accidentally made twice, and if intercepted, the details and numbers linked to the card cannot be decrypted as unique numbers are used for transactions that don't match the card numbers.
Fast - Enjoy less processing steps and cash usage. Your transactions are processed faster because PINs are no longer required. It works twice as fast as normal cards within 15 seconds.
