Airtel Payments Bank joined hands with Mastercard and local devices brand Noise to launch a smartwatch designed to boost contactless transactions, highlighting the device\u2019s NFC payment system alongside other functionalities expected from a wearable.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Airtel credited Mastercard for powering the smartwatch with an NFC chip to enable digital transactions at retail outlets, point-of-sale terminals and other touchpoints, which the operator group pitched as a more convenient alternative to mobile wallets or physical cards.<\/p>\n
To activate the smartwatch\u2019s payment feature, users will have to connect the handset with their Airtel bank account through the operator\u2019s online payment platform Thanks App, where new customers can sign up to the bank digitally.<\/p>\n
Once activated, \u201cusers can immediately commence making payments\u201d, Airtel noted, adding a customer would be able to make transactions up to INR25,000 ($300) per day through the smartwatch.<\/p>\n
This, the company believes, \u201cwill empower users to unlock the full potential of smart wearables and democratise convenient financial solutions\u201d.<\/p>\n
The wearable sports a 1.85-inch screen with a ten-day battery life and offers a roster of health and productivity apps.<\/p>\n
Ganesh Ananthanarayanan, COO at Airtel Payments Bank, said the company \u201cwill be coming up with more options and innovative payment solutions to enhance the digital banking experience\u201d.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Noise co-founder Amit Khatri described the trio\u2019s collaboration as a \u201csignificant stride in redefining the smart wearable experience\u201d.<\/p>\n
Airtel Payments Bank Smartwatch is priced at INR2,999 (US$36).<\/p>\n
