‘bPay’ loop. Turn your watch or fitness band into a way to pay. Launched in partnership with Garmin and Mondaine.
Barclaycard is introducing bPay Loop, a small case comprising a contactless chip, so that wearable owners can transform their existing watches and fitness bands into vehicles for contactless payments, highlighting a new commerce opportunity.
At the heart of bPay is a pre-paid account that links to most major credit or debit cards. Download the bPay app for instant connectivity.
Turn your watch or fitness band into a way to pay, simply slide loop on to any strap up to 22mm wide with an open buckle. Discreetly hidden or a little more out-there, the loop can be fitted in any way you choose.
The bPay loop is linked to the bPay secure digital wallet and can be used to make payments for £30 and under at over 400,000 locations, across the UK. Link loop to the bPay mobile app to seamlessly track your spending, top up on the go using most major debit or credit cards and update your account settings whenever you need to.
