Using Contactless Payments in CabCard Go:
- To accept contactless card payments through the CabCard Go app, your Android device needs NFC support.
What is NFC?
- NFC stands for Near Field Communication.
- It's the wireless tech that enables contactless payments between your phone and payment cards.
Checking for NFC:
- Before installing the CabCard Go app, verify your Android phone model supports NFC.
Here's how:
- Go to your phone's Settings menu
- Search for NFC or tap “Connections”
- Look for an NFC option and ensure it is enabled
- If you don't see NFC in your phone's settings, your device likely doesn't support contactless payments.
