Science and technological advances have managed to design machines and products that have changed the development of economic and work activities, and also facilitated everyday life practices.
An example of this is Rikki, a payment ring that links to credit and debit cards and allows commercial transactions to be made without having to take out the cards or use the mobile phone.
Rikki's Features
The Rikki ring is a highly innovative invention, backed by its sales success. It is compatible with all MasterCard® or Visa cards issued within the European Community, and meets the highest standards of banking security. Furthermore, its use does not require opening a new account or transferring money to other bank accounts, so the expense is transferred to the current bank card.
Meanwhile, the transaction method does not generate commission or additional costs or maintenance.
The ring also has the option of linking up to two cards, and there is also a mode available for minors. The payment history is reflected both in the application that manages the ring, and in the current banking application whose card is used to pay for expenses made with the ring. The Rikki ring is waterproof, does not need to be charged, is made of hypoallergenic ceramic, and responds to the concept of Japanese minimalism.
How Rikki was born
Rikki is a fintech company based in Barcelona formed by professionals with previous experience in start-ups and finance. The philosophy behind this innovative ring is to counteract the dependence on mobile phones that society is experiencing today.
The company believes that technology should be invisible and non-invasive, but always available and ready to serve. On the other hand, the company is thinking about the future. That is why its specialists are currently developing other functions for Rikki, such as being able to add a house or car key, as well as perfecting its use for minors.
Elena Yorda, CEO and co-founder of the fintech company that brings Rikki to life, managed to translate the idea of a product that does not require a mobile phone into a daily, everyday action in the life of every person. In this way, the ring is autonomous so that you can disconnect and enjoy your free time. In addition, it is a device that will never leave someone hanging who needs to pay and leaves home without their wallet or mobile phone.
