How to activate Nubank proximity is a feature that most customers are looking for.

But is it just about benefits? After all, what is approximation? What precautions should be taken when using it? How do I enable and disable the feature? 

These and other questions will be addressed throughout today's content, where we will talk all about this function of Nubank card.

So, if you want to learn more about your card and see how to use the feature safely, don't miss out! 

Nubank approach: making everyday life easier

Who has never been in that annoying situation of arriving at a store to buy something simple, and forgetting their card password? 

Or, in an even more inconvenient case, after facing a long line, paying for your entire purchase at the checkout, when you try to pay, you notice that the password is not working?

Both situations are extremely uncomfortable, as they usually result in a cancelled purchase.

And, if you're part of the group that believes these situations occur due to disorganization, know that this isn't quite the case.

This is because, with so many bank accounts, it is common to have several cards, each with a specific password.

Sometimes we even have more than one card at the same bank, depending on its function, brand or even type.

So, it's quite common to leave home swearing that the password is 4 digits, and when you get there you discover that this password is from the card that was left on the rack shelf, at home.

In these cases, what should you do? In the past, you would have to leave your purchases and go home, since no password = no purchase.

But thanks to the zoom function, all that has changed.

Approximation is a relatively new resource in Brazil, which has been gaining the trust of Brazilians.

This is because cards that use this technology have a specific chip, which communicates with the machine without the card being inserted.

It goes to say that, in addition to making the purchase process faster, proximity can also eliminate the need to enter a password.

So, with a simple tap of the card on the machine, your purchase is completed, without any headaches with passwords.

Nubank is one of the main banks that currently offers this option.

Later we'll see how to activate Nubank proximity! 

Care required when using the function 

Throughout the previous topic we were able to learn about the approximation function of modern cards.

Therefore, for those who were used to wasting time between inserting the card > entering the password > waiting for completion > removing the card, there is certainly a lot of advantage in this possibility.

This is because, with approximation, the process basically consists of bringing the card closer and waiting for the purchase to be completed.

Everything is very practical and modern, but we cannot forget to warn about the necessary precautions.

This is because, as we have seen, the approximation eliminates the need to provide a password for low-value purchases.

While this creates convenience, it can also open the door to some risks.

To understand better, just think about the possibility of a scammer passing a card reader near your wallet on the street and making a purchase.

Furthermore, if you lose your card or it is stolen, whoever has it can make purchases without giving out your PIN.

Therefore, before activating Nubank proximity, it is important to reinforce your security measures.

To do this, access your app and enter the purchase limits that do not require a password.

Prioritize low values to avoid large losses in the event of a scam.

Also, try to keep your card protected at all times to prevent unwanted access.

This way, you avoid problems and ensure that the approach only brings you practicality, without headaches.

After activating Nubank proximity, I was asked for the password: why?

After everything we've seen, you certainly understand that getting closer brings many benefits, but it requires care.

And, as we can see, the main advantage of the approximation is that you don't need to enter your password for every purchase.

However, it is not uncommon for customers to have questions in cases where even after activating the feature, the password was requested.

Why does this happen?

The reason for requesting a password is nothing more than a security measure.

Therefore, it is common for banks to request the password in case of purchases exceeding R$ 200.00.

However, this amount may vary depending on the bank, or even depending on the customer's authorizations in the app.

Therefore, if you request an increase in this amount to R$ 500.00, for example, you will be able to make purchases without a password, up to this amount.

And the same goes for the opposite, since if you want to reduce it to R$ 50.00, for example, you can do that too.

There are cases where the customer requests that no purchase be approved without a password, and in this case, all transactions will request the password, even with proximity.

It is worth mentioning that in some cases the bank itself may request the password if it identifies a purchase outside the customer's usual pattern.

So, it is important to clarify that yes, even with proximity enabled, the password may be requested.

However, this usually only occurs in specific cases, or for amounts above the limits established by the customer's account.

With that out of the way, we can now move on to explaining how to activate Nubank approximation! 

How to activate Nubank approximation?

In the previous topics, we saw a lot of information about the card approximation feature.

This makes it easy to understand that this is a modern, practical resource, but one that requires care.

This way, we can finally move on to explaining how to activate Nubank proximity.

It is worth mentioning that the feature is usually already activated on the card, so it starts working as soon as the card is unlocked by the customer.

Therefore, in these cases the customer does not need to do anything other than unlock the card and start using it.

But, if you don't have the feature enabled yet, it's quite simple to resolve.

Just go to the Nubank app and look for the "cards" tab.

Then select the card you want to activate the feature for.

With the card selected, click on configure, and slide the bar to activate the "approximation" function.

It's worth mentioning that in this same area you can configure your transaction limits for this function.

Additionally, if you want to disable the approximation, just follow the same steps, but slide the bar to disable it.

See how simple it is? So, don't waste any time and use this feature as soon as possible to enjoy its practicality and modernity!
