For Your
Convenience
Fast Transactions
Contactless payments are completed faster than traditional card payments that typically require extra steps and verification methods.
Added Security
Contactless cards have built-in security features such as transaction limits and authentication requirements.
Ease of Use
With a simple tap of your card on a compatible payment terminal, you can quickly complete a contactless transaction.
Reduced Contact
Contactless payments reduce the need for physical contact with payment terminals, which can help limit the spread of germs.
Contactless credit and debit cards let you make purchases by tapping, waving, or holding your card over a compatible contactless payment terminal. These cards are one of the most secure ways to pay because they generate a unique code for each transaction that is never reused and can only be read by the card processor.

If you set up autopay, subscriptions, or any kind of recurring payment you will need to update the merchant with your new card's expiration date to avoid any service interruption or failed payment.
If you added your Credit Union West card to your mobile device’s Mobile Wallet, you may be prompted to update your card's expiration date or re-add your card details after your new card is activated.
