As this feature is in beta, there's no confirmation on its stable launch. Insight from the beta suggests it will function smoothly even when servers are busy, with minimal failure rates. It will also offer a pin-free payment option.

This feature allows users to make payments without authorization. Once activated, users can process small payments without a pin, unlike standard transactions. This ensures faster and more secure transactions as payments are made with pre-loaded amounts.
