SOME NOTES FOR SMALL RINGS ON A iPHONE
TO CONNECT YOUR CARD:
For small rings, the best position to connect to the NFC antenna is on the back of your iPhone at this point – do not use the LAKS sticks
Perform the process on a wooden table, remove the case of your phone and optionally turn off the WIFI.

Add the FIDESMO Pay  segment in the VIMpay app and set up your LAKS Pay Mastercard in VIMpay.
Then download the LAKS Pay app and connect the digital card from VimPay to the LAKS PAY App

In some countries, CURVE does not have an integrated PIN function for the wearable – so you will need to use your real CURVE card with a PIN if your wearable is declined. Then you can use your wearable again up to €150,-. CURVE is working on a European solution.

TIPS and HINTS

If you have issues connecting your CURVE card with your LAKS Wearable

  • Make a transaction with your real Curve card by inserting it into the payment terminal.
  • Then go to your Curve App / LauNchpad / Account and you may see a message ” UNBLOCK your Account – Click to it.
  • This can occur if you have tried several times to connect your CURVE card with the LAKS Pay App without success.
  • Than connect your LAKS wearable with your CURVE card
In some countries, there are different limits for contactless payments
  •  Mostly For payments up to EUR 50, you do not even have to enter your PIN unless you have spent more than EUR 125 
  •  In several successive contactless payments since your last PIN verification. Single payments in excess of EUR 50 can also be made without inserting the card but you need to enter your PIN.
  •  Some countries require the use of a card transaction to cancel the limit.
  •  However, in most countries, a pin is also requested when using the card or wearable in order to be able to continue paying contactless

This is a good training to get to know the NFC technology on your mobile:

Go to:

  1. ACCOUNT (bottom right)
  2. SETTINGS
  3. RESET DEVICE TO FACTORY SETTINGS
  4. YOU NEED TO CONFIRME YOUR MAIL ADRESS THAT YOU ARE THE OWNER OF THE LAKS WEARABLE

You can do this over and over again whenever you want, for example: If you want to change your bank card or pass the wearable on to a friend.

The Sweet Spot Finder can help you to find the NFC antenna in your mobile phone.

Move the Sweet Spot Finder over the back of your mobile and find the NFC antenna – the small white LED light on the Sweet Spot Finder will light up as soon as you move over the NFC antenna.
