Tapster Launches the World’s First Bespoke Payment Signet Ring, Advancing the Future of Payments

Tapster, a Swedish innovator in NFC wearables, today announced the launch of the world’s first bespoke payment signet ring, expanding its portfolio of passive NFC wearables and reinforcing its position at the forefront of the future of payments.

The newly launched Tapster Signet Ring combines traditional signet ring craftsmanship with modern NFC payment technology, allowing customers to personalize their ring while using it as a secure and discreet payment ring. As a fully passive wearable, the signet ring requires no batteries, no charging, and no screens, and works anywhere contactless payments are accepted.

As consumers increasingly seek frictionless and secure alternatives to cards and smartphones, Tapster’s bespoke payment ring enables seamless payments, authentication, and access services with a simple tap. By focusing on passive NFC wearables, Tapster delivers reliability and simplicity unmatched by battery-powered devices.

“Payments should be effortless, invisible, and always available,” said Ludvig Scheja, CPO and Co-Founder of Tapster. “With the launch of the world’s first bespoke payment signet ring, we’re bringing together timeless design and passive NFC technology to show what the future of payments can look like — secure, elegant, and always on.”

Redefining Contactless Payments with NFC Wearables

Tapster’s expanding lineup includes payment rings, bracelets, and key-based NFC wearables designed to integrate directly with existing contactless payment infrastructure. Each Tapster payment ring is powered by certified NFC technology and works with leading global payment networks, enabling users to pay anywhere contactless payments are accepted.

By eliminating batteries and software dependencies, Tapster’s passive wearables remove common friction points associated with digital wallets, such as charging, updates, and device compatibility, while maintaining bank-level security standards.

This approach positions NFC wearables as a natural evolution in the future of payments, bridging the gap between physical and digital commerce.

From Plastic Cards to Passive Wearables

The shift away from plastic cards and smartphones continues to accelerate as consumers prioritize speed, durability, and ease of use. Tapster’s NFC wearables are designed for everyday life — waterproof, durable, and always available — making them suitable for commuting, travel, sports, and daily transactions.

Industry analysts increasingly identify payment rings and passive NFC wearables as a long-term alternative to traditional payment methods, particularly in environments where convenience and reliability are critical.

Tapster continues to collaborate with banks, payment providers, and global partners to expand real-world use cases for NFC wearables, from payments and access control to loyalty programs and identity solutions.

The Future of Payments Is Passive

With global adoption of contactless payments continuing to rise, Tapster believes the next phase of innovation lies not in adding complexity, but in removing friction entirely.

By combining minimalist Scandinavian design with certified NFC technology, the Tapster Signet Ring and other wearable products demonstrate how passive wearables are shaping the future of payments: secure, effortless, and always available.
