City Union Bank, in association with GOQii, the smart-tech-enabled preventive healthcare platform, powered by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has announced the launch of RuPay On –The-Go Payment solution through their Debit Card in a Fitness Watch. The first watch was received by V.R.Venkataachalam, Chancellor of Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research in Chennai on 24th January 2022.
Speaking at the launch, Dr. N. Kamakodi, MD & CEO of City Union Bank said, “We used advanced technology to enable our customers make digital transactions in a contemporary, safe and secure fashion. We are happy to introduce this CUB EASY PAY Debit Card in a Fitness Watch providing our customers an easy tap and go payment solution.”
Customers need to hold this wristwatch in front of the PoS device during payment like tapping the card on PoS. For payments above INR 5000, customers need to tap and enter their PIN. Customers can set the limit for their payments using Net/Mobile banking. Payments made using this Debit Card in a Fitness Watch are safe and secure. For each transaction done using the watch, SMS will be sent to the registered mobile number. Customers can raise a request for the Fitness Watch Debit Card through Net banking/Mobile banking. Usage of the wristwatch can be managed by customers on their own through CUB All in One Mobile App.
