This is possible due to the fact that specific Garmin and Fitbit wearables have a \u2018wallet\u2019 feature, which makes them suitable for the service. A customer simply selects the wallet feature on the device and taps it on the appropriate POS device, and voila \u2013 the transaction is done.<\/p>\n
And if you’re concerned at the security issues surrounding using something as easy as tapping your wrist on a card machine, you’ll be glad to know that encryption and tokenisation (effectively a \u2018middle-man\u2019 function that secures and encrypts information) are used in every tap-and-go transaction, making its security measures quite formidable.<\/p>\n
An additional security measure is related to the actual device \u2013 if it\u2019s taken off or removed, the device\u2019s passcode must be re-entered to activate the payment option from the wallet again. The device will also only stay authenticated and active for 24 hours at a time, or until it\u2019s removed from the wearer’s wrist \u2013 so there\u2019s a very short window for anything to go wrong.<\/p>\n
The service is available to any existing FNB\/RMB clients who have downloaded the respective Fitbit\/Garmin apps onto their phones, after which, linking a selected bank card on the app will allow users to shop easily and quickly!<\/p>\n
