Tap-to-pay, minus the extra steps: RingPay now links straight to digital Granit Bank cards in Hungary

Setting up a wearable payment device should feel instant, and not like you’re assembling a mini tech stack. That’s why this update matters: RingPay has expanded direct bank compatibility in Hungary, so digital Granit Bank customers can now connect a RingPay payment ring directly to eligible Granit Visa and Mastercard cards via Fidesmo’s tokenisation platform, with no Curve account required.

Instead of routing payments through an intermediary wallet, you get a cleaner, more straightforward path from card → ring → tap.

What this improves (and what stays the same)

What’s improved: fewer hoops to jump through

Previously, many wearable-payment setups relied on an intermediary account (often Curve) to bridge your wearable and your bank card.

Now, for digital Granit Bank cardholders, you can pair more directly through Fidesmo (or the RingPay smartphone app workflow), then you’re ready for quick contactless payments once activated.

What stays the same: the “tap and go” experience

This doesn’t change what people love about payment rings in the first place: it’s still an everyday, lightweight wearable built around NFC contactless payments, designed to work anywhere contactless terminals are accepted.

Why tokenisation is the quiet hero here

Even with a simpler setup, the security model remains modern and robust: tokenisation helps ensure real card details aren’t exposed during transactions. In other words, the convenience upgrade doesn’t come at the cost of the fundamentals.

A local home for Hungarian customers: ringpay.hu

RingPay also operates a dedicated Hungarian site, ringpay.hu, built for local-language info and direct purchasing for customers in Hungary. It positions this kind of direct card linking as part of a wider push to make wearable payments easier to adopt nationwide.

The bigger picture: making wearables mainstream in Hungary

The direction is clear: expand availability beyond early adopters by partnering with banks (to enable direct card-linking like this digital Granit Bank support), as well as retail and distribution partners, so payment rings and other wearables become easy to find and easy to use.
