What does the flash payment on the agricultural bank card mean? Can I use it as a bus card?

First, the meaning of "flash payment" on the agricultural bank card: this is a non-contact payment product. When buying goods every day, just flick an IC card with the words "flash payment" on the contactless terminal to confirm the amount. Like the campus card (meal card) used by students at school, there is no password or signature, but generally speaking, the maximum amount of a single transaction is 1000 yuan. However, this function must require businesses such as shopping malls or restaurants to support "flash payment".

Second, it can't be used as a bus card. It can only be used in some retail places such as supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores and pharmacies, as well as public service fields such as vegetable markets, parking lots, gas stations and tourist attractions. But if the merchant doesn't have that machine, he can only enter the password and sign it before swiping the card.
