Starting November 9, the stickers and pins can be purchased from Lotte Card’s customer centers in Korea and the Lotte Card website. During the Games, all three wearables will also be available for purchase at the Olympic Superstores in conveniently located Visa vending machines.

“Growing up in South Korea, I am proud that my home country is hosting the Games, and is using this opportunity to introduce Visa payment innovations to the rest of the world,” said Park, Seung-Hi, South Korean Olympic Speed Skating and Team Visa athlete. “These payment gloves provide a hassle-free way to pay, even when it’s cold!”

In addition to the wearables and as the exclusive payment partner of the Olympic Games, Visa is facilitating and managing the entire payment system infrastructure and network throughout all venues within the Games. This includes more than 1,000 contactless point-of-sale terminals capable of accepting mobile and wearable payments.
