Money Carer Launches NFC Wearables in South Africa: A Bold Step Toward Financial Inclusion
May 2025 marks an exciting milestone for Money Carers as we proudly launch our new range of NFC-enabled payment wearables — including rings, bracelets, and keychains — in South Africa. Designed to blend seamless technology with everyday convenience, these stylish, contactless payment devices are built to empower individuals with safer, faster, and more accessible ways to manage their money.
This launch is more than just innovation — it’s a continuation of our mission to expand financial inclusion across underserved communities. By removing the need for smartphones or traditional banking infrastructure, our wearables make digital payments available to more people, in more places, than ever before.
Our commitment to meaningful change was recently recognised at the 2025 Card and Payments Awards, where we proudly received the prestigious award for Financial Inclusion. This honour reflects our dedication to building inclusive financial tools that don’t just serve, but uplift.
Whether you’re in an urban centre or a remote village, our wearable solutions are here to give you control, dignity, and security — right from your wrist, finger, or keyring.
The Technology Behind the Tap: Smart Wearables That Simplify Everyday Payments
At Money Carers, innovation meets purpose. Our new payment rings, bracelets, and keychains are powered by cutting-edge NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, allowing you to make secure, contactless payments with a simple tap — no battery, no charging, no fuss.
How It Works
Each wearable contains a secure NFC chip that connects to a prepaid account. When tapped against any contactless-enabled payment terminal, the device transmits encrypted payment data instantly — just like a contactless card, but more convenient.
Why Choose Wearable Payments?
✅ Always With You – Whether on your hand, wrist, or keys, your wearable is ready whenever you are.
✅ No Battery Required – Unlike smartwatches or phones, these devices never need charging.
✅ Water-Resistant & Durable – Perfect for daily life, work, or outdoor activities.
✅ Quick & Contactless – Tap and go in seconds — ideal for transport, retail, and everyday purchases.
✅ Secure & Private – Protected with bank-grade encryption and easy account control.
✅ Inclusive by Design – No smartphone, data connection, or app is required to use the wearable.
This is more than convenience — it’s a transformative tool for people who are unbanked, underbanked, or living in areas with limited access to traditional financial services.
Our NFC wearables are built for the real world — simple, smart, and secure. They represent a future where dignity and financial independence are just a tap away.
