You can use the wearable with iCard until 2030.
Contactless payments are based on a signal generated by the payment terminal. This is possible through Near Field Communication (NFC). This is a radio technology with a relatively short range. The wearable and the payment terminal should therefore be as close as possible to each other during the payment process.
LAKS has taken advantage of the passive mode of NFC technology, so the LAKS wearables themselves do not generate a return signal. This is because active NFC readers (payment terminals) are used to read passive transponders (LAKS Wearable card).
Payment process
Please check where the payment chip in your wearable is located and hold this part of the wearable to the payment terminal.
Similar to the process of contactless payment with your debit or credit card, you must hold your LAKS Wearable to the contact point of the payment terminal – look for the contactless sign on the terminal. Only then the signal can be recognised. A detailed description of this procedure is enclosed with your order. With less sensitive payment terminals this may take a few moments.
If the payment process is successful, you will be notified – depending on the terminal – by a tone or a green light.
The LAKS rings (Ring2Pay) are waterproof and some bracelets can also be used for swimming.
The rest of LAKS products should be taken off when swimming, showering or bathing.
FAQ on security and privacy
Your (data) security is our greatest concern. LAKS does not store any data about your bank details or payment transactions. Your data is protected by the highest security standards of Mastercard®.
LAKS only uses your name, phone number and delivery address to guarantee a safe and successful delivery.
Account information
LAKS has no insight into all activities of your LAKS Wearables or your account information. The payment processes are carried out exclusively by your bank.
The LAKS technology enables contactless payment via NFC. NFC is also used with common debit or credit cards and therefore does not represent a security risk.
Wearing the chip generates neither radiation nor vibrations that can affect your body. This is because LAKS wearables use the passive mode of NFC technology.
Active NFC readers (payment terminals) read the passive transponders (LAKS Wearable card). LAKS Wearables do not generate a return signal themselves and therefore do not pose a risk to your health.
