Westpac rolls out mobile payments wearables

Friday 3 November 2017 10:56 CET | News

Westpac has announced the release of a mobile payments infrastructure to its own line of wearable devices, known as PayWear.

Users can wear the new devices and use them with contactless terminals in a tap-and-pay sort of setup. PayWear boils down to a microchip that keeps all the payment information and the relevant infrastructure in place to operate it.

Moreover, users can insert the chip into a silicone band, or a platform called a “keeper”, which can be attached to other watches, or even other fitness bands, to turn these into PayWear devices.
