Is this the NFC Payments ring in the news ?
-
OMFG !!!!! this is the NFC ring payments ring. I found pics elsewhere, AND I can buy one through my bank :)
I've ordered it, FINALLY the wait will shortly be over.
-
Its arrived and its awesome. Every time I use it the person serving me just stares, one guy thought I was hacking him lol. Soon in Sydney we will be able to use credit cards on public transport instead of the "OPAL" cards, I checked and the payment ring is recognised by the scanners, but says invalid card for now.
so all my fellow Australians, check with your banks. It seems to be the quickest way to get a hold of the new ring.

Got a photo, jasok2? I won't get to see one of those up close unless I see one out in the wild. That might get weird and confusing.

@jasok2 what bank are you with man? I'm QLD Westpac
-
@Pugdog1 I'm with Bankwest.

Ok guys I have discovered that the ring I have from bank west is actually the KERV ring. This is the one under a legal dispute with NFC Ring.
I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't NFC Ring to be honest because I've been a backer of NFC Ring since 2013 rings and I feel that NFC Ring really deserve the success for inventing the category.
-
Hey @jasok2 - I can confirm that this is indeed one of our rings.
We (McLEAR) have a contract with Bankwest and are supplying them with these rings. :) -
@chris Thanks for the update Chris, I'm glad that I was wrong :)
-
Nice!
-
@chris don't suppose banks are locking in credit cards to these any time soon? If you happen to know that is. Westpac only have a wrist band at the moment -.-
