Your American Riviera Bank MasterCard debit card is contactless, which means you can tap and pay anywhere you see the RFID symbol. Contactless cards have a computer chip and a tiny antenna they use to talk to a card reader when you want to buy something. To make that happen, the card sends the reader a one-time code, or token, with information that doesn't expose your actual account details. The next time you buy something, it will send a different code. Using this near-field-communication (NFC) is much safer than using a magnetic stripe. When you can't tap and pay, you can use the embedded microchip in the card.
In addition, you can sign up for the following FREE services for enhanced fraud protection:
