Systems and methods for performing payment transactions

Abstract

MARKED-UP COPY MARKED-UP COPY Abstract A wearable payment device, such as a finger ring worn by a user, communicates payment data to a payment reader that uses the payment data in order to request a payment transaction. Such wearable payment device may be conveniently carried by and accessible to the user such that utilization of the payment device for the payment transaction is less burdensome for the user, thereby encouraging use of the payment device for payments. Indeed, in some cases, such as when the payment device is implemented as a finger ring or other type of jewelry, the user may be encouraged to carry the payment device in an exposed maimer such that it is readily available for the payment transaction without the user having to search in a wallet, pocket, or purse.
