Michael Orlando, president of Fit Pay and COO of NXT-ID, said: “Innovative devices like Token are transforming the payment experience for consumers by combining secure authentication and a frictionless transaction into a sleek, fashionable form factor. Its launch helps push the adoption of contactless payments towards an inflection point.”
Token cofounder and CEO Melanie Shapiro said: “Our vision is to offer a device that streamlines the process of authentication throughout the day, while simultaneously protecting users from identity fraud using advanced cryptography.
“As we looked to add essential services to Token, contactless payment capabilities were a must-have and Fit Pay platform offered the best end-to-end solution for our users.”
