CTA Tap To Pay is a new payment option that's making waves in the world of commerce. This innovative technology allows customers to make payments by simply tapping their card or device on a terminal.
With CTA Tap To Pay, merchants can offer a seamless and contactless payment experience to their customers. This is especially useful during the pandemic when social distancing is crucial.
The CTA Tap To Pay payment process is quick and easy, taking just a few seconds to complete. This is because the technology uses near-field communication (NFC) to transfer payment information between the device and the terminal.

Chicago Transit Adds New Payment Option
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has added a new payment option, Apple Pay Express Transit, for tap-and-go fare payments in Chicago. This means passengers can now use their iPhone or Apple Watch to make payments without needing to unlock or authenticate their device.
To use Apple Pay Express Transit, you'll need to upload the CTA's Ventra transit card to your Apple Wallet. This will automatically activate Express Transit Mode for the first Ventra Card you add.
With Express Transit, you can simply tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to the Ventra reader and go. No need to fumble with apps or wake your device.
