What about introducing a contactless ring? Recently when I was at work, someone just paid through hand and was wearing a ring, I just enquired that how did you pay, he said contactless ring. Seems a cool thing. ---

Hey 👋 I think you might want to check out Kerv 😉 [https://kerv.com/en/](https://kerv.com/en/) It’s likely what you saw your colleague paying with 🎉💸😃 ---

What about a special monzo one? ---

Sounds nice! Not sure if it’s what Monzo are planning but I wouldn’t be complaining if Monzo, all of a sudden, launched a hot coral ring 😉 It would be pretty ~~cool~~ hot (coral) 😂:hot_coral_heart: What makes you want a Monzo specific one vs a Kerv? Just curious 😃 ---

It would be like the first digital bank providing this facility, kerv is like more generic but monzo ring would be more special and a bigger brand. ---

Crosslinking with this thread is probably useful here, there’s already been a bit of discussion around this kind of thing > [@BPay type payment band](https://community.monzo.com/t/bpay-type-payment-band/36815): > > Hi there I’m a regular commuter to the city .

I guess the more we keep talking about it and keeping thread alive the more attention monzo will take . So please share your ideas here . I’m not a rings guy but I guess others are . ---

I doubt there’d be a special monzo one, but I’ve seen I’ve of these recently which connects to an app on the phone and can be programmed for anything from access control doors to bank accounts. If anything, it’d just be permission to allow monzo to connect (probably through Apple/ Android Pay 😂) EDIT > **[Token's Smart Ring Can Make Contactless Payments, Store Passwords | Digital...](https://www.digitaltrends.com/wearables/token-smart-ring-for-payments-passwords/)** > > Token is a smart ring that has a number of features, like making contactless payments, unlocking a car, storing account passwords, and more.

![AC_UY780](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/a/3/a3b4fec37ffd78e3b0ba0996b072b3f884577fb1.jpeg) ![credit-card-23250_960_720](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/d/0/d0a566b198908bfd2fbeef04abf313082e87af74.png) It’s made me think if multiple account supported Monzo cards could be sent out with one of the cards designed to ‘clip out’ the chip as a ring. It would then act as a ring sizer where the excess could be broken off for a comfortable payment ring solution, perhaps as a perk that could be offered to premium accounts. ---

I really like the look of the [K Ring](https://mykring.com/en/). They come in black or white with different interior colour options, so imagine a Monzo edition with hot coral on the inside. 🤩 ---

New kid on the block. Still have to use it as a separate top-up account though. Come on Monzo get on board! This would be awesome! [https://mclear.com/](https://mclear.com/) ---

I hope Monzo do not get on board any time soon. If for no other reason that this simply cannot be a priority, can it? ---

> [@anon97022](#): > > It’s made me think if multiple account supported Monzo cards could be sent out with one of the cards designed to ‘clip out’ the chip as a ring. That won’t work as the contactless induction circuit is much bigger in a bank card. ---

I could be interested in this sort of thing if it worked like Curve, as a “pass through” type payment. That seems the best value proposition - banks don’t each have to invest for a small user base, customers who want it Pay a nominal fee, works in a way that is seamless with your existing bank rather than a pre paid set up. (Not sure if the recent link is one of those types… but my 2c)
