warning The Challenge

Contactless payments were growing, but they still required customers to carry a card or a charged smartphone. The bank sought to reduce friction further and differentiate its brand among younger, tech-savvy consumers who wanted seamless payment experiences integrated into their lifestyle.

psychology The Solution

The institution launched a wearables pilot that expanded into full production, allowing customers to tokenize their debit cards onto passive NFC chips embedded in rings, watch straps, and jewelry. This required integration with the card network's tokenization service (MDES) to ensure security.
