Curve brings wearable payments to 31 EU countries with Tappy Tech
By Gloria Methri
Tappy Technologies, the wearable and digital payments solution provider, has joined hands with Curve, the digital wallet that empowers users to maximize rewards from cards, to transform the way Europeans choose how and where to pay on the go.
Tappy’s watch and jewellery brand partners can now offer Tappy-enabled payment wearables to Curve’s customers in 31 countries across the European Union and the United Kingdom.
To transform their wearables into mobile payment carriers, a user needs to download the Curve app, link their Curve digital wallet to their existing bank accounts, debit or credit cards and tokenize and provision it into the wearable through Tappy Pay.
Wayne Leung, CEO and Founder of Tappy, said, “We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Wearable Token Services Platform in partnership with Curve, which is available throughout Europe and the UK. This collaboration is poised to provide significant benefits to our partner brands, empowering them to extend their payment wearable offerings to a vast customer base throughout the region.”
Shachar Bialick, CEO and Founder of Curve said, “We are very excited to partner with Tappy to give our customers in the UK and EU more control over their existing cards by turning their wallets into wearable technology. Curve has always been about convenience for customers – whether that’s with a physical card, on a phone, a smartwatch, or any other type of wearable. Our work with Tappy will help us bring Curve to people across the globe who are on the go and already using wearable technology every day, furthering our mission to simplify and unify the way our customers spend, budget, and earn rewards.”
