The story

Founded in 2014 by Mastercard MDES architects, DIGISEQ set out to extend mobile payment tokenisation technology to everyday wearable objects (rings, bracelets, watches). The company built an IoT provisioning and management platform enabling brands and banks to load NFC payment credentials, access control, and promotional services onto wearable devices — connecting 1,000s of banks to millions of wearables. Their embedded finance angle is the 'Payment Ready' infrastructure layer: they act as a certified Token Requestor with Mastercard and hold PCI CPP and DSS Level 1 certification, allowing them to provision full payment accounts or tokens to secure-element devices at scale.
