How to pay with your Rikki

Take a good look at these two images, they illustrate where NFC readers are usually found in payment terminals and how to place your hand to pay.

  • 1. Locate the NFC reader on the payment terminal

    Your ring works with an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip, that is, with a chip designed so that it can only be detected at a very short distance (3 to 5 cm).
    Like any bank card, in order for the terminal to read it, you must bring the ring close to the NFC reader on the device. NFC readers usually have two different positions, look carefully at the illustrations above.
    When you go to pay, first find out where the terminal's NFC reader is.

  • 2. The hand gesture

    Place your hand over the NFC reader as if you were going to knock on a door (but do it gently, please).
    Do not force other hand positions because this will make it difficult to detect the ring antenna.

  • 3. Purchase made

    When you hear a beep (sometimes it's very soft), remove your hand and wait for the receipt to print.

    AH! Get used to the WOW effect of those around you, it's normal for them to be amazed.
