The Apexes contain fidesmo chips. Fidesmo wearables that have an “app store” of features you can add to them.
Since the Apexes are implants and Visa/Mastercard does not authorize them to work with their network they have the payment app temporarily disabled. The other apps will work ok and Vivokey is developing more.
If visa/mastercard change their minds then all Apexes will be able to pay (no expiration) just like fidesmo products. But this is unlikely so don’t make a purcase if that’s the only reason you want one.
By purchasing our ambassadorship, you secured full support from our side in obtaining a payment implant, which is the first step of your Wallet of Tomorrow experience. However, due to the extremely high demand for our implants and updates that we cannot keep up with the production. We expect to complete and ship out the next batch with a slight delay. Thank you for your patience.
Very important: Following a number of unexpected issues with the implants installed on the side of the hand, a place called “knife-edge”, we no longer recommend this location for installing the implant. The best and recommended location for the implant is either the upper part of the hand or the forearm, just above the wrist.
In case of any issues related to your payment experience, always contact us. It is essential that you DO NOT contact iCard, without prior consultation with our team.
Could even be arguably more secure than current POS technologies!
But for some arbitrary pointless definition from the Visa/Mastercard “cartel”, we cannot use that.
It is indeed infuriating.
Fidesmo is an “environment” where you can deploy and manage javacard applications into your chip.
Which allows for a lot more use cases than just payment.
Some exist as “apps”, some you can develop.
They forget to mention that some POS are fixed in place with advertisement/privacy pannels that make it impossible to present your wrist location to the reader.
So keep that in mind before choosing the install location.
Almost as if iCard had already issued a note statting they do not agree with implant conversions…
oh, wait… they did!
Amal is great!
Pretty much the only reason why I still have a tad bit of faith in humanity…
If the holy chip will be sent to me, how can I choose the area of the hand where it will be installed? I am an electronics technician not a surgeon. Thanks
The Apex not being allowed to use Fidesmo Pay is a purely political decision by Visa / Mastercard. They don’t want their tech on implants (yet), due to whatever reason.
If you melt down a plastic credit card and implant that, i.e. operate on the “scotty doesn’t know” principle in regards to Visa / Mastercard, they won’t act as long as they don’t know.
The choice is yours at the end of the day, but since you are asking for advice, MY OPINION, any of the positions P1-P4.
I had a Payment conversion in P4 and it worked perfectly for me there.
Hi, did you read my post from yesterday? Walletmor wrote to me and says that P1-P4 are no longer good. They say “forearm”. and in any case they don’t have the chips, after you’ve paid and after you’ve bombarded them with emails they tell you to wait to receive the chip. and that the installation must be done in another way. all these things should be said first. Thank you
right now the NXTPAY chip costs 270 Euros. but you can’t order it.they tell you it’s available after March 31st.
P.S. they are very kind and responded to one of my emails. they apologized but told me that in the future their chip will also work throughout Europe… this is a serious company. Ciao
The site is called Upgraded Umans, from there I wrote them an email. Unfortunately I need a German account, I can’t from Italy. their App is also German. a little different from Walletmor. I hope my chip arrives soon and works.
Sorry guys but I have veins, tendons and bones in the P1P2P3P4 area. Am I wrong? and then where can I find a tattoo artist who inserts the chip on the back of the hand? you need a surgeon. I understood that walletmor indicates the area of the watch (wrist) Boh.
We all do, some are more prominent than others.
Mine are prominent, but I still I have a Left and Right P1, my P4 L i have had a couple in and out, My P1 left has also had a couple of Flex implants.
You concern is valid, but the implants sits above the veins, tendons and bones.
Okay. I’m from Rome and I ordered a payment chip from Walletmor, but they don’t ship it yet. There are 7 installers recommended by Walletmor in Italy (Partners– Walletmor). 3 told me they never installed anything because Walletmor never provided them with the guidelines. 1 doesn’t want to do it anymore. 2 others no longer exist. the last installer (surgeon in Milan) told me that the last chips in October 2023 had problems. Do I go to Tattoos in Rome and ask them to have it done for me? Thank you
Thanks
