Visa-powered ring is no longer exclusive to Olympians

Visa-powered ring is no longer exclusive to Olympians

The NFC Ring is expected to ship in December and retails for $53 (about €45). It will be available in either black or white.

The NFC Ring will allow you to pay without needing your smartphone around. It creates anonymising tokens during the payment process, so that’s one less thing you need to worry about having on you when you leave the house.
