MuchBetter, the wearable payments pioneer, has introduced two new colour options for its stylish contactless Mastercard® payment ring: gloss white and gloss black. These sleek additions join the existing brushed black with more styles planned to join the range in future, giving customers even more ways to personalise their payment experience while enjoying the ultimate convenience of tap-and-go transactions.

The MuchBetter payment ring is a secure, durable and battery-free wearable that enables seamless contactless payments anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Unlike smartwatches or other wearable payment devices, the minimalist ring requires no charging and works independently of a smartphone, making it a stylish and effortless way to pay on the go.

“Our payment ring has already proven hugely popular, and we’re excited to offer new colour choices to suit different styles,” said Derrick Lynagh, Head of Strategic Sales and Partnerships at MuchBetter. “With the added flexibility of direct purchase, even more people can now experience the convenience of contactless payments without relying on a phone or battery-powered device.”

Crafted from high-quality ceramic, the ring is lightweight at just 3g and is available in a range of UK ring sizes (J to Z+2). It features an advanced microprocessor chip for secure payments, meets ISO14443 standards and operates at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. The ring is water-resistant and built to withstand temperatures from -20ºC to +80ºC, ensuring durability in everyday use.

The MuchBetter payment ring is now available for £49.99, with customers able to order their preferred size and colour directly through the MuchBetter website. Activation is quick and simple via the MuchBetter digital wallet app, ensuring a smooth onboarding process for new users.

MuchBetter offers a wide variety of digital payment services including a digital wallet and payments gateway, as well as wearable payment solutions such as keyrings, watches, jewellery and the MuchBetter prepaid Mastercard. MuchBetter’s wearable payment solutions are accepted at Mastercard acceptance points worldwide and can be used to make payments anywhere that displays the Mastercard or contactless payment symbol, simply by tapping the product on a contactless payment terminal.

“MuchBetter continues to drive innovation in wearable payments, creating secure and stylish solutions that transform how consumers interact with their money. The new colours are just another way we listen to our customers and give them more choice in how they pay," added Tom Lenihan, Director of Marketing at MuchBetter.
