Betty is talking to her gym buddy Nadia, who doesn’t know about Transcash cards. She explains that it’s just like a regular bank card, and even more so:
With my Transcash card, I can pay and withdraw cash from ATMs, except that I don't pay any agios and my international card is only €1 in monthly fee.
Okay, but you can withdraw cash everywhere and pay for your purchases in any shop?
Yes! Depending on the purchase, I can decide to withdraw cash, euro bills or local currency if I'm abroad, for example. I have access to millions of ATMs thanks to the worldwide Mastercard network...
...And I can even make a mobile payment at no extra cost: does your bank offer that? - Teases Betty
Uh... You mean pay with my phone? - Nadia wonders
I have an Android smartphone, but even with an iPhone you can. The choice is yours: Google Pay or Apple Pay. You connect your Transcash card as a means of payment and voilà! You can use your phone to make contactless payments in stores or online.
Oh yeah, that's pretty good: basically I don't have to take the card out anymore, it can stay at home!
That's progress for you! And don't worry, the data is very secure.
And if I lose the card, I have to cancel it and wait for it to arrive?
You can report your lost or stolen card at any time via the customer area or the application, and if you really want to be "In", as my son would say, you can even order one or more virtual cards in addition to your physical one, making you 100% digital!
You order it in just a few seconds and you can use it right away. It's great and super practical when you're in a bind: this dematerialized virtual card is ideal for Internet payments!
I'm afraid of all this stuff on the Internet, you've got nothing under control... - panics Nadia
No, on the contrary: with an e-card valid for 6 months, the risk of piracy is limited in the event of corruption of your bank details. And, frankly, you can reuse your card in just a few clicks: it's flexible!
I'm going to enter the matrix: what a revelation! - Laughs Nadia
Calm down Neo, it's all real!
