NXT-ID (Nasdaq: $NXTD) Subsidiary #FitPay to Co-sponsor #JackDaniel’s® All-Star Weekend Event Hosted by #JamieFoxx




MELBOURNE, Florida, February 15 Fit Pay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), today announced that it is co-sponsoring the Jack Daniel’s “Blame it on the Game” VIP Party hosted by Jamie Foxx in conjunction with All-Star Weekend, February 16 – 18, 2018.   The co-sponsorship is intended to raise the profile of contactless payments within the sports and entertainment industries. A select number of guests including professional athletes, celebrities and industry executives will receive a Garmin® vívoactive 3® smartwatch customized with a Jack Daniel’s watch face and loaded with Garmin PayTM contactless payment feature powered by FitPay.


“We are extremely excited that Fit Pay, Inc., has partnered with Jack Daniel’s to co-sponsor this amazing event during the 2018 All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, CA,” states Eric Gudger, Portfolio Brand Manager for Brown Forman (NYSE: BFA, BFB). “Jack Daniel’s has always been on the forefront of new ideas through its various brands, and the co-branding on the Garmin vívoactive 3 timepiece is a great way for us to continue our commitment to enhance our brand with loyal consumers and tastemakers.”

The “Blame it on the Game” VIP Party hosted by Jamie Foxx is presented by Jack Daniel’s. The invitation-only event will take place in Los Angeles, CA. In January, Jack Daniel’s and the National Basketball Association (NBA) announced a new multiyear partnership making Jack Daniel’s an official marketing partner of the NBA, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), the NBA Development League (D-League), and USA Basketball. The sponsorship includes a variety of Jack Daniel’s hosted events, media and hospitality programs throughout the NBA, WNBA, NBA D-League and USA Basketball. The “Blame it on the Game” VIP Party will take place in conjunction with All-Star Weekend.

“Teaming with a lifestyle brand like Jack Daniel’s really emphasizes our belief that consumers should have the freedom to pay for things in a way that fits the way they live,” said Michael Orlando, president of Fit Pay, Inc. and COO of NXT-ID.  "The Jack Daniel's moto ‘Live Freely’ closely ties to how we think about payments - free from your wallet, free from your phone."

The FitPay Payment PlatformTM provides Garmin Pay and the vívoactive 3 with contactless payment capabilities and full digital wallet functionality within the Garmin ConnectTM app, enabling consumers to simply tap and pay with the smartwatch at NFC-enabled POS terminals using an existing credit or debit card account. FitPay’s proprietary technology platform uses tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders’ account information with a unique digital identifier (a “token”), to transact highly secure contactless payment and authentication services. This frees devices from needing to be tethered to a host device or connected to the Internet to transact payments, creating a convenient and completely frictionless payment experience. Manufacturers of 15 IoT and wearable devices are currently integrating with the FitPay Payment Platform.
