Yes, tap to pay transactions use the same security standards as traditional EMV chip cards. For every tap to pay transaction, a new and unique transaction code is created by the card and the merchant terminal that secures your payment information. Once the transaction is completed, the code for that specific transaction cannot be used again.
If your information is skimmed, the transaction code would not be valid for future use; therefore, the information captured would be incorrect.
