Fitbit lets you pay from the wrist

Fitbit lets you pay from the wrist

Visa and Fitbit have made Fitbit Pay available in Thailand for the Fitbit Ionic or Fitbit Versa models and will next month include the Fitbit Charge 3.

Customers of Kasikornbank, KTC and Siam Commercial Bank can add their Visa credit or debit card to their device, enabling them to make payments on the go directly from their wrists.
Visa’s Consumer Payment Attitudes Study found that seven in 10 Thais preferred electronic forms of bill payment, including cards, mobile devices and wearables, to cash.
“At Visa, we continue to provide payment experiences across a wide range of form factors and are pleased to partner with Fitbit,” said Suripong Tantiyanon, country manager for Visa Thailand.
“There is much potential and opportunity for such wearables to create convenient and relevant payment experiences that truly change the way people make their day-to-day payments, particularly at places that are traditionally heavy on cash. 
“This is another step forward in the growth of Internet of Things and shows how Visa is enabling companies across the technology industry to help us all move towards a cashless future.”
