Pay with your sleeve

Pay with your sleeve

No more carrying around those pesky credit cards that take up space in your wallet, the latest wearable technology has M.J. Bale suits donning a contactless payment chip and antenna fused into the sleeve.

The technology is a large collaboration between WhybinTBWA Sydney, Eleven PR, tailor M.J. Bale, Heritage Bank and Visa.

Men can now pay “invisibly” with their sleeve wherever a Visa PayWave is accepted.

“Have you ever seen Bono, Obama or Bond pay for anything with a wallet?  No.  There’s a reason for that,” Dave Bowman, executive creative director WhybinTBWA Group Sydney, said.

“The most powerful men in the world don’t need to carry a wallet.  And now, thanks to Heritage Bank and Visa nor does anyone with an M.J.Bale power suit.”
