Garmin Pay transactions are available at every shop and service point that has contactless capability.
Paweł Placzke, head of the Individual Client Product Department at PKO Bank Polski, commented: “The Bank continuously extends the range of services for clients who prefer non-standard but increasingly popular contactless payment solutions.
“At the end of the 2nd quarter, we had nearly 190 thousand cards used in HCE payments. Now, our clients may also pay via their watches. The service will pander to the tastes of people who enjoy active leisure and work on the move.
“There are more and more of them. They need to pop in a corner shop to buy some water during their morning jogging or buy coffee in a bistro before a company presentation and want to do it in a blink of an eye. This is possible with Garmin Pay. I approach my wrist to the reader – the terminal registers the transaction, I thank the shop assistant and I’m on my way.”
