These accessories and wearables, including watchstraps or keyrings, are thus turned into secure contactless payments devices. As per this partnership, MatchMove cardholders can add their MatchMove Mastercard to this payment chip by simply placing the wearable or the accessory on a Bluetooth-connected device developed by Tappy Technologies.
Once the Tappy app is downloaded and the in-app instructions are followed, the MatchMove Mastercard will be tokenized via Mastercard’s Digital Enablement Service (MDES) into the secure payment chip of a wearable via the Bluetooth device. This contactless enabled wearable device works exactly like any contactless card or digital wallet where the user taps the wearable at any contactless accepted terminal.
