  • Disabling paypass, don't cut out the chip, just put your card in the microwave for a few seconds.

  • @batsondceiling Thanks for your suggestion but not sure if that is safe. Great news is some banks IF you push will give you a card without the chip,I have seen this just the other day (this was visa not mastercard though and depends on whom one banks with).

    or there is simply don't use the card unless one has to and then use cash when you can also can be ideal.

  • @leafintoatree5 you are welcome! Yes there IS CHOICE, and if everyoen spoke up out against it, perhaps they would slowly change it? Who knows.

  • Just cut it out with a knife or a pair of scissors. Done.

  • @oliversisson great tip but unfortuantly many retailers won't let you use your card when you do that. I can now safely say that citi mastercard (though i prefer visa), has NO PAYPASS NO RFID CHIP!!! CITI PLATINUM MASTERCARD PPL! thanks for your tip though!

  • Several British cardholders reporting counterfeit transactions on their accounts have had their claims rejected by their bank and been stuck with the bill.

    *******"What people don't understand is the credit-card industry isn't trying to make cards secure," Holman said. "They just have a risk-management problem where they try to control the amount of fraud on their system."********

  • IMPORTANT INFO TO HELP AT LEAST IN CANADA!**** taken from cbc "new credit cards pose security problems.

    "Visa has been slower to market such "proximity cards" under its own brand, payWave.

    Royal Bank decided only this year to make all its Visas payWave-enabled and all newly issued TD Visa cards have the feature.

    ****Notable non-players are CIBC and Scotiabank.** (for now, may want to try them and let them know to keep it opt out option).

    contd...

  • p.s. I noticed I pointed to wrong part of card, I know rfid chip is on the left lol

    also RBC HAS VISA PAYWAVE IN CANADA AND COMING SOON TO A VISA NEAR YOU! Call now, make it an option you can have removed on your card, if you care.
