General Questions

  1. Select your desired LAKS Wearable
  2. Then place this in your personal shopping cart and complete the payment process
  3. Link the LAKS Wearable to your bank account or Mastercard Debit or Mastercard Credit – depending on your bank.

Only after the “Link Wearable” process, the LAKS Wearable can be shipped! 

Can I use a LAKS Wearable?

You need to have an active account and a mobile banking app with one of the participating banks.

By default, you can use your wearable for contactless payments for 3 years from the time it is connected to the bank. However, this depends on your bank. 

The payment service is provided by your bank. 

When your payment card is linked, a reference to your card is stored. This reference is called a token and is stored by LAKS in the wearable. 

Please note, however, that we have no influence on the function of the token and cannot accept any liability for it.

After the three years have expired, you can have your wearable personalised again, provided that the payment service is supported by your bank. To do this, you must return the wearable to us or order a replacement card – depending on which wearable you have. The cost for this is € 20.00 plus shipping costs.

After receiving your order, your LAKS Wearable can be started in your mobile banking app with the enclosed activation code.

Before the activation the LAKS Wearable cannot be used for any payment process. Thus LAKS ensures the protection of your sensitive data. Should your parcel gets lost in transit, it cannot be used by third parties to misuse your data.

You activate your LAKS Wearable with the included activation code in your Mobile Banking App, only then you can start paying.

Please note that the activation process may vary depending on the bank.

Some LAKS wearables require you to insert the payment card first. For this please read the instructions for use.

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 the Key2Pay – except the Key2Pay MINI (made of genuine leather)  are waterproof.

The rest of LAKS products should be taken off when swimming, showering or bathing.

FAQ on security and privacy

Your (data) security is the greatest concern of LAKS. Neither data about your account nor about your payment transactions are stored. Your data is protected by the highest security standards, because all LAKS products are certified and standardized by Mastercard®.

In order for your LAKS Wearable to meet the standards of Mastercard, Bancontact, Manage-Mii and your bank, the following procedure is necessary:

Before your LAKS Wearable can be sent to you, it has to be personalized. When your payment card is linked, a reference to your card is stored. This reference is called a token and is stored by LAKS in the wearable. This way LAKS makes it possible that only you have access to your personal LAKS Wearable. Third parties can neither use your LAKS Wearable nor view payment transactions on your personal account. For final activation, a security code will be sent to you with your order. Only when you enter and confirm this code in your personal mobile banking app, you can pay contactless with your LAKS Wearable.

In this case LAKS will send you a code with which you can repeat the ordering process free of charge. 

Please open a support ticket or contact us at: [email protected]

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

The process of connecting your LAKS Wearable to your debit card and/or bank account is done through the certified Mastercard and Bancontact partner. DIGISEQ is the interface between Mastercard and/or Bancontact and your bank and is equipped with highest security regulations and certifications.

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.

FAQ on returns
