Mobile Payments Today
Fitbit has launched the Fitbit Versa 2, a next generation enhancement of its Versa smartwatch line, which now includes Amazon Alexa voice command technology, a Spotify streaming music app and Fitbit Pay built into all new models of the device.
The Fitbit Pay technology will allow users to make secure payments without a mobile phone and without the need to pull out a credit or debit card. The smartwatch also works in four major public transit systems that use tap-to-pay, including the New York City OMNY pilot, TransLink in Vancouver, Transport for London and Taiwan iPass.
