Singapore's EZ-Link, the market's largest issuer of CEPAS-compliant cards, announced the launch of EZ-Link Wearables.

Launched in collaboration with Watchdata Technologies and Garmin, the ez-link CEPAS purse will be enabled on the Batman v Superman Fitness Tracker X EZ-Link and the Garmin vívosmart HR with EZ-Link smartwatch.

The devices will support contactless payments on public transit and at more than 30,000 ez-link acceptance points island-wide.

While offering support for contactless payments, the devices remain smart health and fitness devices that monitor and record daily activities to support a healthy lifestyle.

“Last year, we integrated a similar contactless chip into the vívosmart HR band in Taiwan which lets users pay for train rides, bus trips and retail purchases via the I-Pass electronic wallet stored within the chip,” Garmin South Asia GM Al Sundoro said.

“This collaboration with EZ-Link puts Singapore on the road map as the first country in South-east Asia to offer a contactless payment solution where you can pay for public transport rides with a tap of your wearable on your wrist.”
