Ahlibank launches Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay – The Peninsula

Doha: Ahlibank, a leading Qatari owned financial institution announced the launch of Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay, as part of the Bank’s commitment to providing more secure and easy payment solutions for its customers.

Ahlibank customers can now enjoy, fast and secure payments on the go with their Ahlibank Visa Debit and Credit Cards linked to Fitbit and Garmin devices as contactless payment options are gaining momentum across Qatar and around the world.

Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay enable Ahlibank customers to make seamless, secure and contactless payments for in-store purchases worldwide with their Fitbit Ionic and Versa smartwatches or their compatible Garmin smartwatches.

With the Fitbit and Garmin devices, the Bank’s customers do not need to present their Cards or share the cards’ numbers with the merchant, and their actual Card numbers are not stored on the devices. The customers instead use a unique generated token number for every transaction.

Customers can easily add their Ahlibank Visa Card to Garmin Pay and Fitbit Pay, and make payment with their watch and keep their transactions private on the go without a wallet or smartphone. The Fitbit and Garmin devices also give the customers opportunity to temporarily block or delete a Card at any time,
