HONG KONG, March 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Tappy Tech provides the 'Missing Element' -- a unique card provisioning 
solution for the timepiece and jewellery market that will facilitate the mass 
adoption of wearable payments. 


Tappy Technologies is proud to introduce its one-of-a-kind portable card 
provisioning solution - Universal Passive Provisioning Unit - at Money20/20 
Asia in Singapore. This technology allows consumers to input their credit or 
debit card information into their traditional watch and jewellery, providing 
them with the convenience in making purchases while remaining stylish.

Tappy Technologies (Tappy Tech or "Tappy") has been making the headlines in 
recent years by developing a payment solution in the form of a battery-less 
chip that can be embedded into any watch or jewellery. This technology is 
highly secure as users must verify their identity with their fingerprint before 
being able to make purchases. 

Speaking to the world's leading technology experts at the Mobile World Congress 
last month, Tappy Tech's CEO Wayne Leung explained that there are two main 
factors in attracting consumers into purchasing a watch -- one being the 
prestigious design and second, the functionality. 

With this in mind, Tappy is aiming to merge the US$20 billion traditional watch 
industry with its technology to further popularize wearable payments.

"If we want to see mass adoption of payment enabled wearables then we must look 
beyond traditional methods of card personalization. Tappy aims to scale the 
wearable payment business globally by empowering the end users themselves to 
seamlessly, 'On The Go' transfer their existing card information securely into 
their favourite branded watch, jewellery or accessory," said Leung.

Tappy has already established a complete Wearable Payment Ecosystem which 
includes companies from the traditional watch, jewellery, major card schemes 
and the banking industries. Tappy offers its certified Wallet Application and 
Platform to its brand partners, enabling them to turn their products into 
cutting-edge mobile payment carriers and allowing them to tap into this 
thriving mobile payment market.
