American payments technology firm InComm has announced that its MyVanilla prepaid Mastercard is now compatible with Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay mobile wallets app.

The integration will enable the users of the prepaid card to make payments through Fitbit and Garmin’s wearable devices and their respective mobile wallets.

User’s account information is not saved directly on the wearable device itself to ensure secure payment transactions.

In order to process transactions without exposing the user’s actual card number, device-specific tokens are generated.
