TopShop has developed a range of wearable accessories incorporating its Barclaycard’s bPay contactless technology. The collection includes bracelets, smartphone cases, stickers – which can be put on accessories or gadgets – and key chains, all created to hold the small bPay contactless chip. The chip links to a secure digital wallet, enabling customers to shop with a tap at over 300,000 locations across the UK which support contactless payment.
Customers add funds to their digital wallet on-the-go using a mobile app or top-up automatically. The 12-piece collection ranges in price from an affordable £15 to £32, and Topshop is planning to launch a more grown-up designs in metal and snake-effect later on in the year.
