Soon you can pay with bracelets at the store

Handelsbanken, BankAxept and EVRY are responsible for the new payment solution, and Handelsbanken's customers will be the first to take advantage of the new business.

Payment will be made via a completely new bank card in micro format, which can also be used. bracelets, watches, key chains or other places you want.

– We want to make the payment as simple as possible for our clients. This micro card makes small payments faster and easier than any other solution offered to customers today. For example, you can have the waterproof card in the bracelets on the beach and buy ice cream bathing without a wallet or mobile phone. Therefore, we think that many will like the solution and put it into use daily, "says card manager Anthony Brady in Handelsbanken in a press release.

The mini-card is directly linked to the existing bank account of the user. The payment takes place in less than a second and should be as safe as the use of regular debit cards.

– Only in June, more than 2.7 million non-contact card transactions with BankAxept cards in Norway were made and usage increased 30% month-by-month, says Jes Rasmussen, Product Manager Mobile BankAxept.

The new payment solution is currently being tested in Norwegian stores.
