Dozens more toll gate lanes are set to go live with tap payment points before the end of the year, reducing the likelihood of card cloning and making it possible to use debit cards for payments at more toll gates.
That is according to feedback from FNB , which has been piloting the “new-age” user-activated pay points over the past two years.
However, one of the major risks of making a card payment at a toll gate is that it requires handing over your card to a toll collector. That makes it easy for malicious toll collectors to insert the card into a skimmer to copy its details for cloning. “Feedback from the pilot has been highly positive as contactless payments continue to be popular amongst consumers as a quick, secure, and convenient way to pay than swiping or inserting a card,” said Kaan.
