samsung pay

If there is an NFC terminal, probably best to just tell the cashier you want to use Visa PayWave and tap the white terminal with your phone. Easier that way.

In fact, for NTUC which uses an all in one terminal (NFC, swipe and chip), you can tell the Cashier Visa PayWave and still use MST by tapping your phone on the side of the terminal (where the magnetic swipe is).

i wouldn't recommend that. some merchants have stricter accounting policies when they categorise contactless payment away from usual credit card payments. While some merchants have better software to help them select the appropriate payment method, some might need to manually key in the mode of payment. So if you declared you using contactless and then you used MST, the accounts won't tally anymore and you might land the cashier in trouble, despite having the amount paid.

its best to always honour the mode of payment and alert the cashier if u intend to switch between nfc and MST.

hmm sorry if it sounds stupid but those payment terminals with the pay wave logo are using nfc? cos so far i have been using tapping directly on the terminal display regions. Wouldn't wanna look stupid if suddenly requires mst and I'm tapping like some noob at the wrong area

You have to ask. There are many models of terminals. Some accept direct tap while some have the option to tap but the service is inactive.

Generally those dont have contactless terminal, assume its mst only unless told otherwise..

The outlet got problem with their terminal

Usually the shop is using an older firmware for their terminals and they need to find a way to update it.

Good point. It's unfortunate though that many cashiers will probably think you're an alien when you mention MST... Lol

No need to mention mst. Just say by visa/master (mst) or paywave paypass for contactless lor..

Just wondering what the procedure for the cashier is. Is it their practice to swipe/insert the credit card into the terminal *before* they key in the transaction?

Because if it is, they will ask for the card when I say Visa/Master and if I then say that I want to use the phone, all the objections/ignorance on MST will start surfacing...

Yep if going direct to swipe/insert the card needs to be detected by the terminal before the screen to enter amount payable will be shown on the terminal

But for NFC-enabled terminals if NFC fails the terminal will immediately fall back on swipe/insert without needing to swipe/insert first then input amount, because the amount was already entered before the attempt at NFC payment stage so the terminal remembers it.

Typically what I do in this situation is I just tell them I'm swiping and my phone can swipe, u gotta sound firm and sound like you know what you're doing. I'll get the puzzled looks but they still let me do it lol. And the look of amazement/shock/wonder when they see it work lol
