DC TAG Wins Two Innovation Awards!

DC Payments is proud to announce that our  prepaid wearable product, DC TAG, won two Innovation Awards at the recent IVIE Awards, presented by Advanced Card Technologies (ACT) Canada. The company was nominated in two categories: Canadian Payments Benefiting Issuers and Canadian Payments Benefiting Consumers. We won gold for the Issuer category and tied for gold in the Consumer category.

“The IVIE Awards recognize innovation in the industry,” says President of DC Bank Kevin Helfand. “It’s extremely gratifying to win, especially given that we were selected over formidable competitors.”

DC TAG is Canada’s first prepaid wearable product. A Visa token integrated into a wristband makes the DC TAG a faster, easier, and safer contactless payment method that allows the user to travel light and doesn’t require any setup or software.

For active consumers, DC TAG is a convenient alternative that allows them to run, swim, bike, or do most anything without having to bring a wallet, phone, or card. It’s lightweight, waterproof, hypoallergenic, comes in a variety of colours, and it’s tough enough for just about any activity. It is a faster way to pay than cash, a card in your wallet, or a mobile device. It’s also great for parents who can buy DC TAG for their children and eliminate the need for cash while monitoring purchases.

“DC TAG is an extremely secure payment method,” says Helfand. “It can’t be used at ATMs or online, and it isn’t linked to a primary bank account. Unlike cash, if a DC TAG is lost, it can be blocked and the funds transferred to a new DC TAG. You just tap and go.”

For Issuers, DC TAG is a great way to not only generate revenue, but also promote your business.

“It’s so effective because everything from the wristband to the Web portal is custom branded,” Helfand says. “With DC TAG, businesses literally send their customers out the door with a company logo on their wrist.”

DC TAG is already established as the leader in this exciting technology, but the IVIE Awards confirm that this is the right innovation at the right time.

“We couldn’t be more pleased,” says Helfand. “We know that DC TAG is going to be extremely popular with our clients and their customers, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer this cutting-edge product.”
