McLEAR prominently showcased the world’s first payment ring alongside Visa at the Rio Olympics followed by key feature events such as Super Bowl 51, Eurovision 2017, FIFA Confederate Cup 2017 and the GRAMMY Gift Lounge 2018.

Our innovation made it possible for a ring to provide access control, personal interaction and now, make contactless payments with the touch of a hand. There’s no need to carry money when out for a jog in the morning, no need to reach for your wallet or phone when dashing through the underground. Just raise your hand, tap your ring and away you go.
