BPay jacket for contactless payment by Lyle & Scott

Here is a bPay jacket for contactless payment designed by Lyle & Scott and Barclaycard. The two companies joined forces to create this "payment garment"; if you can call it that.

This bPay contactless payment jacket has the same contactless payment chip as found in debit / credit cards. It is discreetly hidden in the jacket at the wrist of the right sleeve. It allows the user to pay for maximum amounts of £ 30 in 300,000 shops, bars, restaurants or public transport in the UK.

The bPay jacket is available in two colors: admiral blue and true black. It is sold at a price of 150 pounds sterling. Like Barclaycard smartwatches or contactless gloves, this jacket is a smart choice as it is a garment that is worn often and kept for a long time. The announcement of the collaboration of Lyle & Scott and the new team in charge of innovation at Barclaycard is strategic because it coincides with that of the increase in the limit of a contactless payment; going from £ 20 to £ 30 beyond the sleeve. You should know that the contactless payment industry there grew by more than 300 percent in 2014.  

Mike Saunders, Director of Consumer Digital Payments at Barclaycard said, "Our customers see contactless payment as quick and convenient, but the style and look of the payment method is also extremely important. Combining the heritage of a brand like Lyle & Scott with the latest payment technology from bPay will advance contactless payments and show that this is the easiest and fastest way to buy products every days ; whether it's a coffee, a metro ticket, etc. "

The bPay jacket will go on sale today, September 2, in the Lyle & Scott store in Carnaby Street and in the brand's online store. Delivery will be free, but in the UK only.
