contactless payment

Commuters in Metro Manila can now pay fares on select Delta NeoSolutions Inc. (DNS) point-to-point (P2P) buses using contactless Mastercard credit, debit, and prepaid cards, as open-loop payments are introduced on parts of the network.

Global payments giant Visa has rolled out a new contactless payment option in the Philippines through the integration of Visa debit and credit cards with Google Pay, allowing Filipinos to tap their smartphones for everyday transactions.

This marks Visa's second transit project in the Philippines, following its first transit project launch in Cebu.

Contactless is considered the more hygienic and safe way of making proximity payments.
