#Edit: For those who are still confused. Please look up mobile payments. This is not a regular Apple/Google Pay transaction. Using e.g. a Zelle app or similar banking apps that permit people to transfer money directly into your account. It is just like Apple/Google pay, but you don't need a debit/credit card linked. You don't need to touch anything. You make a purchase, they scan your watch, and thats it.<br><br>Just wanted to share something with the community.<br><br>If you have an iOS/android watch, you can add the mobile wallet from your banking apps, and add your locator or whatever it is that is used. For most banking apps, you don't have to have your card linked to it.<br><br>So you can just use your watch like Apple Pay or Google Pay, but it doesn't require your card (meaning you don't have to touch anything). Just show your watch, and they scan it. <br><br>By the way, I use mobile payments all the time. But, this is just a "hack" for those who have banking apps that support mobile wallet. So you need to have the banking app on your phone, you don't need to have any cards linked to it, but you need to have the mobile wallet. <br><br>This is something that I use often, and never realised how useful it was until now. Hopefully it will be useful for you too.
