The Royal Bank of Canada has begun a pilot test of a NFC-enabled version of Nymi – a biometric wristband that uses the cardiac rhythm of the wearer to authenticate the user’s identity.
Speaking to NFC World, a Royal Bank of Canada spokesperson explained that the Nymi wristband would be specially modified for the pilot: “The Numi band currently uses Bluetooth Low Energy to communicate to devices. For the pilot we will be fitting a Nymi band with NFC to do contactless payments.”
