The story
Tappy Technologies positions itself as an enabler of NFC-based wearable payments, allowing consumer brands (watchmakers, jewellers, accessory makers) to embed payment functionality into their products via Tappy's chip and software stack. Its Tappy Wallet app serves as the consumer-facing management layer, and the Tappy Prepaid Card (Evolve Bank & Trust / Visa) extends its value proposition into a branded financial product for US users.
