Stockholm, the 10th of November 2020 – Today BOOM Watches enters a collaboration with the Swedish tech company Fidesmo. The collaboration means that BOOM Watches launches watch straps with an inserted NFC chip and the payment service Fidesmo Pay making it possible for the customer to tap the watch on the payment terminal instead of a physical payment card.
BOOM Watches unique feature is that the watches are completely modular. Parts of the watch can be replaced and combined in different ways, which gives consumers the opportunity to customise their watch, rather than having to own several different pieces.
– We are proud to offer the customer the opportunity to have an integrated payment function in their watch. It further strengthens our concept, says Niklas Dahlgren, CEO and Founder of BOOM Watches.
– Fidesmo Pay enables watch and other fashion companies to increase customer value in their products by integrating our technology without compromising on design. We are pleased to welcome Boom Watches as one of our wearable partners and together we can offer the customers a payment solution that is a little smoother and a little nicer, says Mattias Eld, CEO of Fidesmo.
The products are launched today on boomwatches.se. More information about Fidesmo Pay and which payment cards that are supported can be found at fidesmo.com/pay.
