In today's time, we use credit card or debit card for many things from shopping to paying bills. Now instead of cash, cards have started being used, which are easy to carry. But have you ever looked at your credit or debit card carefully? And if you have, then you will see a flying pigeon in many credit or debit cards. Do you know what is the meaning of this hologram sticker on the credit or debit card? Let us give you information about this in this news today.
This is the meaning of dove symbol
If there is a symbol of a flying pigeon on your credit or debit card, then it means that your credit or debit card has a contactless feature. That is, there is no need to swipe it during the transaction, but payment is done by just tapping the card. This hologram can be on the front or back of the card, which reflects light. When the card is moved, this dove appears flying.
Hologram indicates the validity of the card
Hologram on credit or debit card makes the payment process more secure. The presence of this hologram shows that the card is valid. When someone is paying you with the card, then definitely check whether there is a hologram sticker on the card or not. Hologram with a sticker of a flying dove is necessary for those cards, which do not use Premium Visa Brand Mark (PVBM).
PVBM has security features, which prevent any kind of fraud from happening. These are better than any version of pigeon or dove hologram. Just like Visa uses dove hologram, master Card uses World Map, Discover-A Globe hologram. Some American Express cards have the image of American Express.
