We're helping to make events incredible:
No cash. No queues. No problems. Our ESAF payment wristbands provide a quick, easy, secure option wherever contactless payments are accepted.
Less time spent managing money means more time for organizers to focus on creating out-of-this-world experiences.

“We are very happy about this cooperation. As a Swiss company, there is of course nothing greater than seeing a product in use at the ESAF. Above all, it is nice for us to combine the tradition of the ESAF, the sport and the festival-experience for all participants with the advantages of our solution for payment wearables.”
We're changing the way people pay at ESAF
The Eidgenössische Schwing- und Älplerfest (ESAF) may be the largest temporary sports event in Europe, but there’s nothing temporary about the technology we’re bringing to this year’s festival! Say goodbye to payment vouchers, say hello to branded payment wearables that are chic, contactless, and convenient. ESAF 2022 is the perfect way to highlight how we bring together banks, producers, and events to provide an innovative and exceptional offering for customers.

Want to know more?
We’ve got the answers to the most commonly asked questions about payment wearables.
You can make contactless payments with an ESAF wearable. The wearable uses a virtual card linked to one of your physical cards for payments.
The maximum amounts are regulated differently depending on the applicable legislation in the country. In Switzerland, for example, contactless payments are limited to CHF 80.
This varies from country to country. In countries like Switzerland, Germany and Italy, for example, you can simply enter your PIN if the amount is higher. In the UK or France, on the other hand, it is not possible to pay amounts above the contactless limit.
At a BLKB branch or via Android and Apple phones with NFC functionality.
Currently, only one card can be linked to one ESAF wearable at a time.
Yes, you can link the same card to multiple ESAF Wearables.
You will need a stable internet connection to create your account and link your payment card.
You only need to purchase the wearable for it. Everything else is quick, easy and free.
We use a process called tokenization to create a virtual card that is linked to the ESAF wearable.
A token is a series of randomly generated numbers used in payment card tokenization. [It replaces the customer's principal account number (PAN)].
It means that the card set up on your wearable has expired and you need to create a new virtual card if you want to continue paying with your watch.
There are two reasons why you may need to renew your wearable's tokenization:
- your token has expired (usually after 37 months) or has been deleted.
- you have changed your payment card.
If a payment card expires and your bank sends you a new card without any changes, your wearable will usually continue to work. If not, please use one of the activation methods to set up the virtual card again.
PAN stands for Primary Account Number - or simply the card number on your payment card.
Simply search for the "BLKB wallet App by wearonize" in the Apple Store or on Google Play and download it.
