Visa (NYSE: V) today announced the launch of Tap to Add Card in Georgia, 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.
Bringing enhanced security and convenience, 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 Georgia,” said Diana Kiguradze, Visa Regional Manager in the Caucasus region. Using this technology to add a card to a digital wallet ensures personal information protection by advanced security measures. We believe that Tap to Add Card will be instrumental in driving further adoption of digital wallets in Georgia by addressing key security concerns and simplifying the user experience.”
For issuers, Tap to Add Card can help reduce the risk and associated costs of provisioning fraud, simplify the add-to-wallet process leading to fewer customer service inquiries, and improve transaction approval rates.
