Visa payWave dijamin selamat

 

 

PEMBAYARAN elektronik menggunakan Visa payWave dijamin selamat kerana mengandungi banyak lapisan keselamatan, bagi melindungi setiap transaksi yang dijalankan menggunakan kemudahan itu.
Pengurus Negara Visa Malaysia, Ng Koon Boon berkata, antara sistem keselamatannya termasuk penggunaan cip kriptografi maju dalam Visa payWave yang memerlukan kod unik, dijana setiap kali transaksi, bagi mengesahkan transaksi tersebut.

"Kami sedar terdapat beberapa laporan mendakwa Visa payWave tidak selamat. Walaupun ada pihak cuba lakukan demonstrasi bagaimana butiran kad kredit boleh dicuri tanpa sentuhan kad, senario ini kompleks dilaksanakan dalam dunia realiti.
"Setakat ini, tiada laporan diterima daripada pengeluar kad atau penguatkuasaan undang-undang global berpunca akibat serangan penipuan elektronik," katanya.

Koon Boon berkata, setiap transaksi menggunakan Visa akan diproses oleh rangkaian pemprosesan global, VisaNet, yang menganalisis masa nyata bagi mengawal potensi penipuan.
"Visa boleh menggunakan gambaran menyeluruh untuk mengenal pasti corak penipuan dan mengesan urus niaga yang mencurigakan ketika daftar keluar," katanya.

Beliau berkata, sejak diperkenalkan pada 2007, lebih satu juta transaksi Visa payWave dicatatkan di negara ini dan ia berkembang pada kadar melebihi 60 peratus bulan ke bulan.
"Melindungi pemegang kad dan mengekalkan kepercayaan mereka dalam pembayaran elektronik adalah amat penting di Visa," katanya.

Nazri: It’s free visa, not visa free

KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet is likely to decide today whether to waive the visa fee of 80 yuan (RM46) for Chinese tourists.

Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, however, said the Cabinet was not looking at abolishing the visa requirement.

“It is not (going to be) visa-free. It is a visa fee waiver,” he told reporters here yesterday.

Commenting on the call by business groups for the visa requirement to be abolished to attract Chinese tourists, Nazri said it was not likely.

Besides potential security concerns, he said there needed to be regional cooperation among Asean countries.

“No, we can’t do that (allow visa-free entry). The Chinese government may also not allow this as they will want to control their people coming here.

“If we were to allow visa-free entry, it should involve a working cooperation between one regional group with another.

“For example, we could give European Union citizens visa-free entry if this is in cooperation on a regional basis. I don’t think Malaysia alone can do this. It needs to be an Asean initiative,” he said.

Should the Cabinet agree to the visa fee waiver for Chinese tourists, Nazri said this would need to be implemented “as soon as possible” to attract those travelling during the Spring Festival period.

Nazri said such a waiver was to compete with countries like Indonesia and Thailand, which had eased visa requirements for China tourists.

“Since October, there has been a positive 6% growth in the number of Chinese tourists compared to the previous year,” he said after opening the final phase of the 1,600 Pandas World Tour here yesterday.

The 1,600 paper-mache pandas, which have travelled to over 15 locations, including Batu Caves and the Taiping Lake Gardens, are now at the Publika mall here until Jan 25.

In his speech, Nazri called for groups to look into the conservation of another “black and white” animal – the equally endangered Malayan tapir.
