Where can I find information on the cards that are approved for contactless payment?
MasterCard and Visa have defined specifications and certification processes to assist card manufacturers and silicon providers to develop market-ready products. Once a product is approved by MasterCard or Visa, it appears on their respective lists of approved products which are regularly updated to include new products. For MasterCard PayPass product information, please go to: http://www.paypass.com. For Visa Contactless product information, please go to: http://partnernetwork.visa.com/cd/testing/approved.jsp American Express, as an issuer, negotiates directly with specific vendors for the development of products meeting its specifications and therefore does not publish a list of approved products. Discover Network offers specifications for all card manufacturers or silicon providers to develop products that must pass their testing and certification requirements. For Discover Network contactless payments information, please go to: http://www.discovernetwork.com.
