MasterCard and Coin Sign Agreement to Power Wearable Payments

Partnership Bolsters the MasterCard Commerce for Every Device Program
to Deliver More Convenient and Safe Payment Options for Consumers

Atlas, Moov, and Omate to Enable MasterCard Payments on their Fitness
Bands and Smart Watches

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MasterCard today announced a partnership with Coin
to bring MasterCard payments to a wide array of fitness bands, smart
watches and other wearable devices. This collaboration builds upon the
MasterCard announcement in October introducing the Commerce
for Every Device program to enable any consumer gadget, accessory or
wearable to become a payment device.

Atlas
Wearables, which designs advanced fitness trackers, Moov,
a personal fitness coach on your wrist, and Omate,
maker of fashionable smartwatches, are the first set of companies
working with MasterCard and Coin to implement payment technology in
their products.

“The great thing about the MasterCard program is that we are adding
payment functionality to items that consumers are already using –
fitness bands, jewelry, clothing, watches,” said Sherri Haymond, Senior
Vice President, Digital Payments, MasterCard. “This makes the products
more useful for consumers and enhances the value device manufacturers
can deliver to their customers. Coin complements that approach and
enables us to reach an expanded set of device partners.”

Coin will provide hardware and software technology that is integrated
with the MasterCard
Digital Enablement Service (MDES) and can be embedded into devices
to enable manufacturers to quickly and easily implement payment
functionality into their consumer products. Leveraging the MasterCard
Digital Enablement Express (Express) program, the addition of Coin’s
technology simplifies commercialization and enables participating
issuers to expand to a whole new category of devices.

“Coin’s Payment of Things platform is a turnkey solution to
enable payments for the wearable/IoT industry. Leveraging Coin’s
technology, device manufacturers will benefit from significantly reduced
costs and time to market,” said Kanishk Parashar, CEO and Co-Founder of
Coin. “MasterCard is our essential partner as we team up to enable the
wearable domain that is projected to grow to an astounding $53 billion
by 2019.”
