TA 7.2

Short for Technical Annex. The German Banking Industry (DK) defines rules for German payment transactions in the Technical Annex (Technischer Anhang). It defines new regulatory requirements and security standards for contactless card payments at EC terminals. After the changeover to TA 7.2 of the German banking industry or to DC POS 3.0 of the credit card organizations, the single tap function is activated so that the cards do not have to be inserted again for contactless payments with PIN.
