# PaymentCardReaderSession.Event

Optional events you can observe during the card-reading process.

```
enum Event
```

## Overview

If you supply an event handler when reading a card, the session delivers
appropriate events to your handler. Use them to update your UI or perform
other app-specific tasks. You can also use them to provide
accessibility-related feedback.
