How To Enable Paytm Tap For NFC Payments

Paytm has added one more way to make payments through the platform. The company has now added a Tap to Pay feature that will allow users to make bank card payments with their Android smartphones.

The new feature allows users to make purchases at PoS (Point of Sale) machines via NFC. The payments are encrypted and highly secured. The original card details are not shared when performing a transaction.

The NFC payments or contactless payments use near-field communication (NFC) technology to exchange data between readers and payment devices like e-wallets or tap-to-pay credit/ debit cards

In short, now you can make a payment without carrying debit or credit cards around. Unlike usual PayTM payments, this feature also works without an Internet connection.

To use this feature, you will need to add your bank cards to the Paytm app. Once the card is tokenized, you can use it on payment machines.
