Garmin - the latest technology within reach

Garmin creates state-of-the-art sports watches designed to meet the needs of sports enthusiasts and professionals alike. In addition to sports modes, the smartwatches include a number of useful features, including NFC (Near Field Communication), which enables contactless payments. To take full advantage of this functionality, a dedicated app for Garmin watches was designed and then developed. It makes contactless payments simple and secure. What is important is that a wallet or phone has become an expendable accessory. This is ideal for people living in a hurry or doing sports. If you feel thirsty after a morning jog, you can buy water by paying with your watch.

The advantages of the Garmin Pay™ app

Garmin Pay™ is an app that enables payments wherever contactless payment is available. Plus, it plays nice with major card networks including Visa and Mastercard. Adding your cards to the virtual wallet? Piece of cake. From the Garmin Connect app, select Garmin Pay™ and add your card(s). The app will walk you through the whole process. One thing worth mentioning is that the app user can take full advantage of the benefits including perks and rewards that are provided for the cardholder.

Garmin Pay™ works with many banks. If your bank is not on the list, it will certainly be on it soon. A feature that will prove useful in the city is the one-touch payment for your fare. This means you can easily pay your fare both domestically and internationally with just one touch. To pay, just type your password, pick your card, bring the watch near the reader, and you're good to go!

Modern and secure payments with the Garmin Pay™ app

New technologies generally raise many concerns. Not only when it comes to the difficulty of installing an app, but also in operating it. There are voices of sceptics raising security issues. So let's ask the question: are contactless payments safe? Actually, contactless payments are considered to be one of the safest methods of payment. NFC technology is based on short-range radio waves. We have to bring the watch close to the terminal, which makes it difficult for anyone to intercept your data. Plus, you need to unlock the device and enter a password for the payment to go through. Brands like Garmin take extra steps to protect your info - card numbers aren't stored on their servers. Instead, they use tokens, which are basically strings of numbers. If your watch gets lost or stolen, you can block the token without worrying about cancelling your card. 

Garmin Pay™ takes security up a notch by using your wrist-based heart rate as an extra layer of authentication. Your watch is right there on your wrist, so there's no need to hand it over to anyone. You keep an eye on it, making it much harder to snatch compared to cash. Plus, it's a hygienic choice - money tends to carry lots of germs. With smartwatches, we're not just keeping our transactions safe but also looking out for our health and those around us.
