Wirecard, Mastercard to promote contactless payments via wearables

Tuesday 17 July 2018 13:34 CET | News

Wirecard and Mastercard have announced that they will expand their cooperation to make contactless payments via wearables accessible to more consumers.

As part of the agreement, boon from Wirecard will be available in Germany via Garmin Pay. Further future cooperation projects are planned, which will make mobile payment with the own smartwatch available for more and more users.

Garmin Pay customers can now benefit from smartwatch-based payments with boon in Germany and six further European countries independent of their bank, as they are owners of a digital boon Mastercard.

Currently, Garmin Pay functions with the GPS multisport smartwatches vívoactive 3 and vívoactive 3 Music, the GPS fitness watches Forerunner 645 and Forerunner 645 Music in addition to the fenix 5 Plus series.

Earlier in July 2018, Wirecard announced that it would provide Natura, a Brazil-based cosmetic, perfumery and personal goods company, with its new digital finance features.
