Debit cards are losing their charm but there is no doubt that still debit cards hold a good amount of share in digital transactions in India. There are multiple channels where you can use your debit card. One of the major channels is POS. In this guide, I will tell you how you can enable POS transactions of your Fi Money Debit Card.
Once you enable POS transactions you can make use of your debit card to complete swipe transactions at offline merchants.
If you want to complete a POS transaction you have to insert your card into the POS machine. The merchant will enter the amount in the machine. And then you have to enter your PIN number to complete the transaction.
But this is not the case with the contactless or tap and pay transactions. In that case, you just have to tap your card on the POS machine and your payment will be completed. (up to Rs. 5,000 INR)
If you want to enable the tap and pay feature of your Fi Money debit card. Then read the steps in this guide. And if you just want to enable the POS transactions. Then follow the instructions given below.
