Doha, Qatar: Visa yesterday announced the launch of Tap to Add Card in Qatar marking a significant advancement in digital wallet provisioning. This innovative technology addresses the growing need for secure and streamlined digital payment solutions by allowing cardholders to add their Visa contactless cards to digital wallets with a simple tap on their mobile device.
Tap to Add Card eliminates the cumbersome process of manual entry, a common source of errors and a vulnerability exploited by fraudsters seeking to compromise sensitive card information. The tap generates a unique, one-time code validated by Visa’s Chip Authenticate service, ensuring secure provisioning of card credentials and offering a significantly faster and more secure alternative to traditional methods.
“We are excited to bring the enhanced security and simplicity of Tap to Add Card to Qatar,” said Shashank Singh, Visa’s VP and General Manager for Qatar and Kuwait. “The solution provides cardholders with greater peace of mind when adding a card to a digital wallet, knowing their information is protected by advanced security measures. We believe that Tap to Add Card will be instrumental in driving further adoption of digital wallets in Qatar by addressing key security concerns and simplifying the user experience.”
The technology is supported by digital wallets globally, ensuring seamless integration with existing digital wallet experiences.
