Tap and go is the new and secure way to pay. Midwest Bank is excited to announce that we now offer contactless debit cards that are faster, easier, and more secure than any other debit card we’ve had before.
In an era where convenience and speed are paramount, traditional banking is evolving to meet the dynamic needs of the modern customer. Our commitment to innovation has led us to introduce a game-changer in the financial landscape – Contactless Cards! These innovative cards are designed to simplify your transactions, offering a seamless and secure way to manage your finances.
Why did Midwest Bank switch cards?
It is a high priority to protect our clients from fraud while also offering initiative, top-of-the-line products. As the digital wallet era continues to grow, Midwest Bank will continue to offer more secure ways to pay. If you are a current client, the cards will be delivered in the mail, and will have a new number. Use this checklist to make sure you update all your recurring payments.
Midwest Bank has also made it even easier to set up. If you are looking to open a checking account, you can stop by any of our branches to get your personal or business card in minutes.
How does a contactless card work?
Each time you tap your card to a card reader, a one-time security code is created that protects your payment information. The reader securely authenticates your card information without needing a PIN or signature. Not only is this a quicker way to pay, but contactless payment is difficult to counterfeit because the card never leaves the cardholder’s hand.
What are advantages of contactless cards?
Speed and Convenience: With contactless debit cards, you can make payments quickly and easily by tapping your card at the point-of-sale terminal. No more fumbling for cash or waiting for change. Midwest Bank cards can be added to digit wallets including Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Enhanced Security: Contactless payments are highly secure. Each transaction generates a unique code that cannot be used for future transactions, reducing the risk of fraud.
No need for a PIN: For small transactions, you won’t need to enter your PIN. This added convenience makes everyday purchases smoother and more efficient.
Compatibility: Contactless technology is widely accepted by merchants, both locally and internationally. You can use your contactless card for a wide range of transactions, from grocery shopping to dining out.
Hygienic: In today’s health-conscious world, contactless payments also provide a way to make transactions without handling cash or touching keypads. The card is easy to add to a digital wallet to pay with your smartphone or wearable device.
Track Expenses: With our mobile banking app and online banking, you can easily track and manage your expenses. Your contactless transactions will be visible in real time, helping you stay on top of your finances.
At Midwest Bank, we’re committed to providing you with innovative solutions that enhance your banking experience. Our Contactless Cards are more than a payment method – they’re a step towards a faster, safer, and more convenient future. If you are needing more information, please contact us.
