Pay conveniently wherever you are
Pay with just a flick of your wrist.
Fitbit Pay doesn’t require you to carry a smartphone or card: simply press the left-hand key of your Fitbit Ionic watch and hold the watch up to the terminal – that’s it!
Security guaranteed.
All the payments you make with Fitbit Pay are just as secure as ordinary transactions made with a card. Or even more secure – because your card details are kept encrypted and are not transmitted to the vendor when you pay.

FAQ
Where can I use Fitbit Pay?
Wherever contactless payment is accepted.
Are the payments I make with Fitbit Pay secure?
Yes. Comprehensive security measures apply to payment confirmations (authorisation) as well as data protection.
Payment authorisation: A personal security code is required in order to use Fitbit Pay (wearable PIN). Due to automatic blocking of this personal security code (wearable PIN) on your smartwatch, you have to regularly re-enter the code - for instance, whenever you put on the watch or, at the latest, every 24 hours. If the automatic blocking is deactivated, your personal security code (wearable PIN) will have to be entered the next time you use Fitbit Pay. This ensures that only you yourself can use Fitbit Pay to pay.
Data security: When you add your Viseca card to Fitbit Pay, Fitbit Pay generates an encrypted virtual image of your card on the wearable ("token" = a new digital card number). Only the Mastercard and Visa card organisations are able to identify the cardholder's actual card number from this token. When paying with Fitbit Pay, only the token is transmitted to the vendor, i.e. the vendor does not receive any real card information. In the Fitbit app, the last three transactions you have made with Fitbit Pay are displayed. However, Fitbit does not have access to this encrypted transaction information, because the information is only de-encrypted once it is on the wearable (not by the provider). This ensures the best possible protection for your card and transaction data.

What do I need in order to be able to use Fitbit Pay?

When paying with Fitbit Pay, do I have to enter the PIN code for my card at the payment terminal?
No. The use of Fitbit Pay requires a personal 4-digit security code (wearable PIN). Once you have entered this personal security code on your smartwatch, you no longer have to enter any further PIN code at the payment terminal (neither the PIN code for your card nor the wearable PIN) in order to authorise the payment, regardless of the amount.
Do I have to be registered for "one" in order to use Fitbit Pay?
Yes. "one" is the digital service for your card that gives you a comprehensive overview of your spending at all times. The personal details (e-mail address, mobile number etc.) you store in "one" are required for the security check conducted when you activate Fitbit Pay.
