Separately, the vendor has worked with Thales to deliver its wearable technology to India’s IndusInd Bank.  The Indus PayWear App will ofer customers a method to transform their cards into tokens through the application. Once tokenized, these cards can be provisioned into form factors such as Rings, Watch Clasps, and Stickers to enable contactless payments.
