But today, Inter is changing that. Inter announced the U.S.\nlaunch of its wearable technology line, the Inter Ring and Inter Wristband,\nbringing contactless payment capability through industry-standard security\ntechnology to accessories customers already wear, without requiring a screen,\nbattery, or a phone in hand.\n\nThis launch will be the latest example of Inter always optimizing for the\ncustomer. Through this expanded product offering, the financial technology\ncompany will take its services from a financial platform into an accessible\nlifestyle, granting customers access to Inter’s universe of customer\nexperiences.\n\nThe Inter Ring will be available in gold, silver, rose, black, and gray. The\nInter Wristband, adjustable and built for daily use, will come in black,\norange, and white. Both run on passive NFC technology, making them\nwater-resistant, battery-free, and activated once through the Inter App.\n\n“Wearables embody a core trait in Inter's DNA: innovating to simplify\npeople's lives through technology, convenience, and security. With these\ndevices, we want to make every experience more efficient — whether that's\nthe time saved at checkout or the peace of mind that comes with knowing your\npayments are protected through industry-standard security measures.\nPracticality is a lifestyle, and it makes a real difference in people's daily\nlives,” says Rodrigo Gouveia, Executive Director of E-Commerce and\nEcosystems at Inter.\n\nPayments made through the Inter Ring or Wristband will serve as an extension\nof the customer's existing Inter credit card, sharing the same limit and due\ndate, with purchases from all three surfaces appearing on a single statement.\nTransactions will use tokenization and encryption consistent with contactless\npayment standards; certain purchases may require a PIN. If a wearable is lost\nor stolen, customers can disable or remove it in the Inter App.\n\nWearables will be initially available to a limited group of select Inter\ncustomers, with a broader rollout coming later in 2026.
