What not everyone knows is that purple – the nickname for the Nubank card – also has a hidden feature that is certainly activated. It is the proximity payment feature, also known as contactless. It allows the user to make a purchase simply by bringing the card to the machine.
This means there is no need to enter a password to complete a transaction, be it credit or direct debit. The maximum amount authorized by the bank is up to R$ 200. This resource is unlimited and can be used whenever the establishment makes it available.
Activating the function in practice on the nubank card
To activate this function, the user just needs to put the purple one in their pocket as usual when making their first purchase. After that, they can use contactless payment whenever they want, with a limit of up to R$ 200 on purchases.
According to Nubank, this payment method is secure because it uses encryption technology that alters each transaction. It is basically a secure data transmission technology.
Deactivating in practice
Anyone who doesn't feel safe with this functionality can simply deactivate it in the Nubank app itself. See below how the procedure is done:
Open the Nubank application;
Tap on the home screen on the icon above your name in your profile section;
Then go to the Configure card option;
Finally, deactivate the Proximity Shopping – (contactless) button.
It is important to note that even with the option enabled, the password is required for transactions above R$ 200.
