Securing the Future of Wearables: Tappy’s Tech Behind the McLaren Payment Band

The curtain has closed on an unforgettable Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but the excitement around innovation continues to race ahead.

Following the official launch earlier this weekend, today we proudly distributed the FAB McLaren Mastercard payment bands at the Mastercard Priceless Lounge, alongside ongoing activations at the FAB Experience Area in the main grandstand.

Powered by Tappy Technologies’ secure tokenization platform and brought to life in partnership with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), Mastercard, and Thales, these next-generation bands have captured incredible demand. Fans are eager to wear a band that not only delivers seamless payments but also carries the branding of a championship-winning team — McLaren.

A huge applause to Manisha Khiani, CLMP™— her leadership and vision were instrumental in making this project a reality. Congratulations to the Tappy Technologies team for delivering an outstanding product within such a demanding timeline.
