Sometimes the problems of mobile payments are not found in the smartphone itself, but in some mistakes that we usually make when we make payments with this technology.
For this reason, we are going to tell you about some of the most frequent mistakes so that you can avoid them and start truly enjoying the experience of a comfortable and secure payment with your smartphone.
Remove NFC because you think it’s not secure
One of the most common mistakes is removing NFC because you think the technology isn’t secure enough when it is. Therefore, if you encounter problems, it may be because it is turned off and you have not remembered to activate it.
NFC is a very secure technology, in fact, for the payment to be made you have to maintain a suitable distance from the dataphone, so it is unlikely that you will make a payment without meaning to. The distance range is too short for this to happen.
Use a very thick cover
If you use a cover that is too thick, it may affect mobile payments by preventing the dataphone or label from being recognized , so in this case what you should do is find another one or remove it when you are going to use the mobile for this finish.
The most comfortable thing in the long term is going to be to think of a new safe cover, tailored and with reasonable dimensions. So, if you like the one you have because it seems very cool, but it affects you at this level, go looking for a similar one that does not interfere with the NFC connection.
Hit the mobile with the dataphone
One of the most frequent actions when using the mobile to make payments is hitting the mobile with the dataphone when you just have to bring it closer . Of course, at the correct angle so that it is processed correctly.
Although for the transaction to be completed it is necessary to be very close to the means of payment, this does not mean that you have to touch it or hit it. We may have gotten used to other forms of payment, but the technology is contactless.
The card is expired or has no funds
Even if you make the transaction with your mobile, what you are using is still a card. It may be that for convenience you completely neglect yourself and the card ends up expiring without you knowing. It may also be that it has been unsubscribed or there is an error with it.
In other cases, what happens is that you inadvertently run out of money in the account and therefore cannot complete the transaction. For this reason, we must take into account all these details from time to time so as not to get ‘hung’ on a purchase.
It may also be that the application or the payment method is not compatible with our bank. Currently there are many that allow it, but if it is the first time you use it and it does not work for you, this could be the reason. In this case, the problem could also arise that we have not configured our account correctly or we have written the card numbers wrong.
