Visa launches ‘Tap to Add Card’ in Ukraine, Georgia and South Africa

Visa has introduced its ‘Tap to Add Card’ service in Ukraine, Georgia, and South Africa, allowing cardholders to effortlessly add their bank cards to mobile wallets via NFC by simply tapping their card on an NFC-enabled phone.

This innovation eliminates the need for manual entry—a process prone to errors and fraud risks. Instead, the tap generates a unique, one-time code, validated by Visa’s Chip Authenticate service, ensuring secure provisioning of card credentials.

This method is not only faster but also significantly more secure than traditional alternatives.

Tetiana Chorna, Country Manager, Ukraine: 'Tap to Add Card provides cardholders peace of mind, knowing their information is protected by advanced security measures. We believe this innovation will accelerate the adoption of digital wallets in Ukraine.'
