Airtel Payments Bank said it will enable these smartwatches developed by Noise to boost Tap and Pay capabilities and enhance the experience for users by bringing the convenience of contactless payments through the smart wearables. The new smartwatch is now available to be purchased at Rs 2,999.

Seamless Integration with Airtel Thanks App

Airtel Payments Bank savings account customers can purchase the smartwatch from the Airtel Thanks App, while customers who are new to the bank can order the smartwatch immediately by opening a bank account digitally on the Airtel Thanks App. Once the smartwatch is linked to the account, users can immediately commence making payments by simply tapping the watch on Point of Sale (POS) machines with the Tap N Pay facility, Airtel said.

According to Airtel Payments Bank, customers would be able to make payments between Rs 1 to Rs 25,000 per day using the Airtel Payments Bank Smart Watch. The smartwatch is equipped with an array of health and productivity features, comes with a 1.85-inch square dial, and enables contactless payments directly from the wearable. The smartwatch’s NFC chip is supported by the Mastercard network to make payments for all customers’ lifestyle needs, the company said.
