Do the stickers have a PIN code?

You can perform up to 5 payments a day without entering PIN by VisaPaySticker. The 6th transaction below AMD 20,000 will be rejected. There are no restrictions for transactions above AMD 20,000 for which PIN is entered.

It is possible to make a payment by the sticker without my knowledge?

Your account may be debited without your knowledge by means of a sticker if the POS terminal is brought too close to the sticker which is practically impossible to do unnoticed.

In Armenia POS terminals are linked to the accounts of registered business entities so they can be prosecuted for debiting your account without your knowledge by means  of a contactless sticker (for e.g. when the sticker is in your bag or in your pocket) or for other fraudulent actions.

 

Immediately call us if your account was debited without your knowledge or you suspect fraud.

Can I change AMD 20,000 limit?
