No, a thief cannot skim your data, and here’s why: 1. No Visible Information: Unlike physical or virtual cards, your ring doesn’t have your name, card number, or CVV written on it. It looks just like a regular ring. 2. Invisible Credentials: Your actual card details aren’t stored on the ring. Instead, we use a process called tokenization. We assign a Visa or Mastercard token to your ring.

Yes We take security seriously at Vezopay. Your ring is secure for the following reasons- EMV Accreditation: Our wearables have undergone rigorous security testing by Visa and Mastercard. They are fully EMV accredited, ensuring robust protection. Tokenization: Your user credentials are not stored on the device. We utilize tokenization, which enhances security by preventing any sensitive information from being skimmed. Control and Monitoring: You have control over your wearable through our app or your bank. If you lose your wearable or notice suspicious transactions, you can pause or stop it, just like any other payment device. Physical Interaction Required: To initiate a payment, someone would need to hold the payment terminal steadily for at least 2 seconds while your finger is in a specific position. This makes unauthorized transactions challenging. PIN for Added Security: After reaching a certain transaction limit, you’ll be prompted to enter a PIN at the terminal, adding an extra layer of security

10. NFC & Connectivity
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology used for contactless payments. NFC is a transmission technology, and its security depends on the services that utilize it. At Vezo, we ensure security by using encryption with applets and keys embedded in the wearable, approved by Visa and Mastercard, to establish a secure communication channel. Additionally, Vezo does not store your actual card details on the NFC chip. Instead, an encrypted token is assigned to represent your card, ensuring your credentials are never stored or transmitted. This means that even if someone intercepts the wireless transmission, the data remains secure. Our NFC devices are passive (they don’t require a battery), which adds another layer of security. Since they are offline devices, they cannot be hacked remotely or online, making them inherently more secure than active, connected devices. This approach is commonly used in industries like payments, transport, and access control.
When self registering your device on an iPhone, additional steps are required due to iPhone’s restricted NFC policies, which can sometimes cause difficulties. These extra steps involve approving the 10-step write process at multiple stages, so please be patient and wait for each step to complete before clicking “Connect NFC” or continuing as prompted. The entire writing process may take up to one minute. To ensure smooth card connection and registration, please follow these guidelines: Ensure your phone and ring are positioned correctly during the writing process. Use the VezoPay special box to hold your ring in the correct position for optimal NFC connection and writing. Do not move your phone away until the process is complete. Please follow the steps in the user manual, quick setup guide, or app. For more detailed instructions and troubleshooting for iOS setup, check out our helpful video guides [here]. If the issue persists, please contact our support team for further assistance. NFC and Chip Information What does NFC stand for? NFC stands for Near Field Communication, a technology that evolved from radio frequency identification (RFID). An NFC chip operates as part of a wireless link, enabling devices to communicate when in close proximity.
