Is using YouTrip akin to paywave when paying?

Hello! Not sure if this is still relevant, but leaving a comment here for anyone who needs some clarity on this topic in the future.

​

I've recently come back from South Korea, and I use youtrip most of the time during the trip! It's super easy to use. Most of the places have the same POS machine - just insert it into the card slot as instructed by the cashier. Big purchases might need a signature on the POS screen, otherwise, any other expenses don't need to have any additional steps (no pin/sign).

I say its very likely paywave. just that they might not call it paywave. I went to JB and they didnt understand what paywave was lol
