Visa testing sunglasses to enable contactless payments

Wednesday 15 March 2017 11:44 CET | News

Visa has announced that it will be starting a new pilot program of contactless payment-enabled sunglasses.

The glasses are a regular pair of shades — with the addition of a small contactless card that allows the sunglasses to work as a contactless payment method.

At this point, little information is available about the actual sunglasses, including cost, availability.

The pilot program will take place at the World Surf League’s 2017 Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast competition.
