The Benefits of Contactless Payment

In the current COVID-19 environment, the term “dirty money” takes on a whole new meaning. Handling cash requires physical interaction — a sure way to spread germs.

WASH offers innovative contactless systems that allow users to pay with a no-touch laundry card or a Bluetooth-enabled app from their smartphones. Voila! No unnecessary handling.

Is Contactless Safe?
Even before COVID rocked our world, contactless and digital payment methods were becoming more mainstream. Not only is it more convenient, users are more secure from cyber-theft and establishments that utilize cashless payment also have a reduced risk of on-site vandalism and theft.

Contactless cards are embedded with a communication antenna used for close- proximity payments via radio waves. The card creates a dynamic code, which is unique for each individual transaction.

Another great contactless option is mobile pay. Mobile payment is superior to credit cards because your information is never given directly to the merchant during a transaction. Digital wallets use authentication, monitoring and data encryption to secure your personal information.

The truth is contactless cards, mobile pay and digital wallets are far more secure than other payment methods, including cash.

Coming Clean
Now, let’s talk about how all this technology translates to tackling dirty laundry.

• Contactless WASH Laundry Cards
  WASH already understood the hassle of having to collect and handle quarters to do laundry. Thus, the contactless WASH laundry card was born. It’s even more relevant now, as we strive to stay healthy by limiting our exposure to shared surfaces. Each WASH-enabled machine has the option of a reader that can process your laundry card payment.
