Accessible Payment Methods

Qudos Bank customers can use a range of Tap and Pay technologies that we provide, such as Google Pay and Apple Pay to make payments easy. Tap and Pay functionality is not only convenient but it is also a great accessibility tool for payment. Tap and Pay helps enable people with visual impairment or restricted mobility and dexterity to shop safely and independently, as it offers an alternative payment method to the traditional physical inserts of cards.

To use contactless payments, simply hold your Qudos Bank Credit Card or Debit Card near a payment terminal and the card will process the payment.
