MALLORCA TODAY - Contactless pay cards

The Balearics would appear to be able to claim a first; the first region of Europe in which contactless pay cards have been introduced. The bank La Caixa, in collaboration with Visa, will send out these cards to its 130,000 customers who will be able to pay, up to 20 euros, by simply waving the card over a terminal. For amounts over 20 euros, a PIN number will be required to be entered.
