Customers can now make payments from their wrist
Kansas City, MO, January 17, 2023 –nbkc bank, Kansas City’s strongest large bank1, today announced that nbkc bank debit cardholders can now make payments from their compatible Garmin smartwatch2 with the Garmin Pay™ contactless payment solution. With a few quick taps, nbkc bank customers can easily access Garmin Pay to conveniently make purchases from their wrist almost anywhere contactless payments are possible.
“As we seek to stay at the forefront of the ever-evolving landscape of digital banking, we are pleased to announce that nbkc bank is now offering Garmin Pay,” said Michael Bartkoski, nbkc bank president and CEO. “This additional payment option exemplifies our commitment to embracing technologies that provide seamless, secure payment solutions and support a simple, frictionless banking experience.”
Before making their first Garmin Pay purchase, nbkc bank customers will add an nbkc debit card to their virtual wallet in the Garmin Connect™ mobile app. From there, users will enter their passcode, select that card from their virtual wallet, and hold their wrist near the card reader to complete a transaction. The payment amount will be debited directly from the nbkc customer’s account.
“We are excited to provide our customers and nbkc bank customers with another way to pay while they are on the go,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of global marketing. “Having the ability to easily pay for purchases, without the need for a phone or wallet, is a feature that we are happy to bring to Garmin’s active lifestyle customers.”
