In a move that blends fintech innovation with motorsport-inspired design, Tappy Technologies has partnered with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) and Mastercard to unveil a new generation of contactless payment bands. These wearables aim to bring a stylish, fast, and frictionless payment experience to users who prefer convenience without compromising on security.
The new payment bands are designed with the same principles that define motor racing — speed, precision, and seamless execution — making them an exciting addition to the growing global market for smart wearables.
A New Era of Wearable Payments
Contactless payments have become a global habit, but the partnership between Tappy, FAB, and Mastercard takes the concept further by integrating secure payment capabilities into a fashion-first accessory.
At the core of this innovation is Tappy’s tokenization technology, combined with Thales’ secure element chips. FAB Mastercard cardholders can easily link their cards using the Tappy Pay App, after which the band becomes a fully secure payment device.
No phone.
No wallet.
Just tap and go.
From cafés and retail stores to global travel — the bands work anywhere Mastercard contactless payments are accepted.
Built for Lifestyle, Inspired by Racing
What makes these payment bands stand out is the inspiration behind them. The design takes cues from the energy, adrenaline, and speed of motor racing.
Just like every second counts on the track, every tap using these bands is meant to be instant and frictionless. The wearable fits into the user’s everyday lifestyle, allowing them to enjoy hands-free payments whether they’re jogging, attending an event, traveling, or shopping.
The idea is simple:
Why take out your phone or wallet when you can wear your payment?
Fast, Secure & Always Ready
Once activated, the band becomes a tokenized extension of the user’s FAB Mastercard card, ensuring that sensitive data is never exposed. Even if the band is misplaced, the actual card details remain protected, thanks to tokenization.
This gives users the confidence to make payments in:
Stadiums
Malls
Transit terminals
Restaurants
Gyms
Outdoor events
The experience is quick, seamless, and secure — exactly what modern digital-first consumers expect.
What Tappy Technologies Says
Wayne Leung, CEO of Tappy Technologies, highlights the synergy between technology and lifestyle:
“Motor racing is all about passion, speed, and precision — and that’s exactly what these payment bands represent. Consumers can proudly wear a stylish accessory while enjoying the convenience of secure, contactless payments powered by Tappy. Together with FAB, Mastercard, and Thales, we are redefining how lifestyle and technology come together to enhance everyday experiences around the world.”
