Fitbit pay charge 5

[Saudi]

Fitbit charge 5 in Saudi Arabia. 

Anyone who uses a Fitbit charge 5 cannot enjoy contractless payments as we do not have any bank listed in Fitbit list. The only bank is listed is Samba and its closed. Please add banks or make other options for us to be able to use fitbit pay in the next software update. Revoult, wise and curve is supported in Saudi Arabia as well.

Your bank have to request support from Firbit Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, Garmin Pay, Wena Pay, Huawei Pay, Ali Pay and etc...
*Pay are just services - and banks/fintechs decide to cotract them in order to represent their cards in these services. For example when Bank and Fitbit have contract, Fitbit request from Bank to GENERATES NEW virtual card that is ONLY for this specific device and Fitbit app just installs it in the Fitbit devices. Then device request and bank generated payment tokens for this new virual cards. Fitbit is just the mediator.

So ask your Bank to for Fitbit support, not Fitbit to support your bank. 

P.P.
If Curve is supported - so, you can use any Mastercard/Visa to be added to Curve and Curve card can be added to Fitbit Pay.
I use Firbit Pay several years via Charge 3 SE, 4 and now with 5.
Fitbit Pay > Curve > Revolut
Fitbit Pay > Curve > My bank

@ChoSmile   You are absolutely correct.  Banks must make an investment to participate in Fitbit Pay.  My very large US bank doesn’t participate.  They see no reason since they participate in Apple, Google, and Samsung Pay.

I thought it's a fitbit issue not a bank responsibility, thanks for you reply.
