We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Chase recently announced it will start issuing credit cards with built-in contactless payment.  And I say, it’s about time!

    Contactless payment has been the norm for years in other parts of the world.  My teammate Jasmin, who’s from Canada, said that you’ll actually get a funny look for trying to swipe your credit card in Canada.  And it’s rare to ever have to sign for a bill.  The US has been behind in the chip-enabled card game too!

    The announcement applies to all Chase Visa® credit cards, like the Ink Business Preferred Credit Card (our #1 card for small businesses) and the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (our #1 card for beginners).  So if your Chase card has the Visa logo, you’ll be eligible to receive a card you can use for contactless payments.

    Contactless Payment Has Been Around for Ages In Other Countries, and Chase Is Finally Adding Contactless Payment Capabilities to Its Visa Cards!

    Chase’s website says that contactless-ready cards will be issued through the end of 2018.  But other readers and bloggers have noted that Chase customer service representatives are telling cardholders that officially, Chase Visa cards will go contactless on November 15, 2018.

    What do you think about this news?  With lots of merchants in the US now accepting Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung pay, I’m hoping even more US credit card issuers will embrace contactless payment.  I’m also willing to bet my co-worker Keith, who has 3 Chase small business cards in his wallet, is super excited about this news as well!
