Your security is our priority. That's why Better Banks ATMs now support contactless debit and credit cards. Simply tap your contactless card on the reader to begin your transaction—no inserting your card, no waiting, and no worrying about leaving your card behind.
Why Contactless Is More Secure
Every transaction is uniquely encrypted. Each time you tap your card, it creates a one-time encrypted code that's unique to that transaction. Even if someone intercepted the information, it couldn't be used again.
Your card stays in your hand. Because you never insert your card into the ATM, there's less chance of it becoming stuck or forgotten.
Protection against fraud. The one-time security code helps prevent criminals from copying or reusing your payment information, providing the same trusted security as EMV chip technology.
Less contact. More convenience. A simple tap gets you started faster, making ATM transactions quicker while reducing physical contact with shared surfaces.
Look for the contactless symbol the next time you visit a Better Banks ATM and enjoy a faster, safer way to bank.
Frequently Asked Questions about Contactless ATMs
Is tapping my card at the ATM secure? Yes. Contactless transactions use the same EMV chip security as inserted chip transactions. Each tap creates a unique, one-time encrypted code that cannot be reused, helping protect your account from fraud.
Do I still need my PIN? Yes. You'll still enter your PIN to complete ATM transactions. Contactless technology simply provides a safer, more convenient way to begin your transaction.
Can someone steal my information when I tap? No. Your card doesn't transmit your account number in a way that allows it to be reused. Instead, it generates a unique encrypted code for each transaction, making the information useless to fraudsters if intercepted.
