IDFC First Bank has rolled out a sticker-based debit card, called FIRSTAP.
The launch is in association with National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), to facilitate transactions by simply tapping the sticker on a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled point-of-sale terminal.
The sticker-based debit card is one third the size of a regular debit card, thus, making the sticker applicable on a wide range of devices and objects, and significantly enhancing customer convenience.
The IDFC First bank sticker debit card comes with a complimentary personal accidental cover and 24/7 concierge services with a host of RuPay offers.
The touch-free way to pay enables payments in seconds for transactions up to Rs 5,000 without a pin, and those beyond that, with a tap and PIN.
