Discover® and Garmin® International, Inc., today announced that
Discover cardmembers can now make payments using Garmin PayTM, a
contactless payment solution for people on the move. Garmin Pay,
which is powered by FitPay®, is available on Garmin’s latest active
lifestyle smartwatches, the vívoactive® 3 series, and new GPS
running watches, the Forerunner® 645, Forerunner 645 Music and
fēnix® 5 Plus series, as well as the D2™ Delta aviator watch
series. Those who add their Discover card to Garmin’s virtual
wallet can make quick and easy purchases using just their
watch.
“Consumers are constantly on the go and our goal is to make it
as simple and seamless as possible for our cardmembers to pay with
their Discover card, including on IoT and wearable devices,” said
Shaida Lynch, vice president of e-business at Discover. “Now
someone can be out on a jog or running errands and the ability to
pay with Discover from their Garmin watch is just a quick tap
away.”
“We are excited to provide our customers and Discover
cardmembers with another way to pay while they are on the go,” said
Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “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 users
who live an active lifestyle.”
Discover cardmembers can use Garmin Pay at any merchant retail
location that accepts both Discover and contactless Near Field
Communication (NFC) transactions. Once a payment card is added to
Garmin’s virtual wallet—which can be done through the Garmin
Connect™ Mobile App—users can tap and pay with just a few quick
touches.
“We are very pleased to have partnered with Discover and Garmin
to bring additional payment capabilities to Discover cardholders,”
said Michael Orlando, chief operating officer of NXT-ID and
president of Fit Pay, Inc. “Discover cardholders will now be able
to experience a truly frictionless payment experience through
Garmin’s amazing line-up of smartwatches.”
Discover cardmembers who use Garmin Pay to make purchases will
continue to receive all the convenience and benefits of their
Discover card, including rewards, fraud protection and U.S.-based
customer service.
