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.
