I make use of bPay, its good but not great for tracking spend.
Would be great if was able to get a sim card size card that links to my monzo account so I can use in the bpay holder

Yep. I have a bPay bracelet, bPay keyfob, bPay watch strap, bPay sticker…and just wish they could be debit rather than prepay
What’s the point?
Most phones nowadays have NFC and cards are contactless. I don’t see a market for this outside of really old phones and people that want to look cool paying.
But apparently there is a market for it. What do I know. Personally I wouldn’t increase possible attack vectors by having a bajzilkion fobs that can pay, especially since there’s marginal, if any, benefits, and no monitoring.
I find the convenience of not having to get phone/wallet out a big bonus, I have a fitbit which doesn’t have NFC or payment capabilities. bPay gives me this.
Plus, I always wear my watch, so always have a payment method on me. (saved my bacon a few times after filling up fuel in my car!)
Currently bPay is my preferred payment method, but means I have to check bPay and my bank statement to find out spend
It is so I don’t need to take my phone to concerts or festivals or swimming pool or beach and for when phone battery dead
Iphone dont have nfc
It does since iPhone 6. Just Apple restrict who can use it to nobody but themselves.
You’re totally right; except for the NFC chip/antenna that powers Apple Pay since iPhone 6.
These look cool, Ive never heard of Bpay before. Guess Ill start googling
That sim not even real lol
It is a SIM sized contactless card, which goes into a holder. The OP is suggesting that Monzo do something similar.
It’s pretty real - basically a simcard-sized contactless card that fits into the slot on the wristband… not used in phones
Where get them from?
You can get them from the barclaycard (bpay) website: https://www.shop.bpay.co.uk/categories/buy-bpay
What device is that one though?
ÂŁ20 with no credit wow
It’s on the cheaper end of the scale to be honest, some solutions such as kerv cost 5 times that (albeit in a much more aesthetically pleasing design for myself personally).
Yea I was suggesting monzo do a compatible card. I would happily pay a surcharge to be honest
Hello
Your bPay wristband will be on its way to you shortly. But in the meantime, here’s a quick reminder of your order.
