This equipment includes training arm and knee pads designed to meet various needs, support joints, stabilize muscles, enhance blood circulation, and promote post-exercise recovery. These products not only offer comprehensive protection for athletes but also reflect the brand’s commitment to sports performance and a deep understanding of athletes’ needs.

Importantly, this collaboration activates GYM AESTHETICS new strategic direction in sports alliances, bringing more Western sports culture to Asia and offering a diverse range of sports elements, as well as high-quality products and services for sports enthusiasts in the Asian market. Thus, this partnership encompasses not only GYM AESTHETICS’ high-performance apparel but also live interactions, VIP hospitality, and fan experience zones throughout the season and at the Championship game in September, along with extensive marketing, sponsorship rights, and exclusive television and social media integration rights. This will further enhance the GYM AESTHETICS brand’s influence in the sports world and promote sports culture.

Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the「SoéPay – Tap to Pay」iOS app — no additional hardware or payment terminal is needed.

SoéPay – Tap to Pay

At checkout, the merchant will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.
Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the built-in features of iPhone to keep business and customer data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn’t store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers.*

SoéPay’s accelerated merchant onboarding process allows merchants to begin accepting contactless payments via iPhone (iPhone XS or later, running the latest version of iOS) in as fast as 60 minutes once all requirements are met in two steps: (1) iOS app installation and (2) in-app KYC (Know Your Customer) verification.
“We have rolled out Tap to Pay on iPhone for the first wave of merchant categories: taxi services, delivery, florists, pop-up shops, and personalized onsite service providers. We see merchants effortlessly using their iPhones to conveniently and securely accept contactless payments and believe these transformative benefits enhance both their efficiency and their brand image,” says Sam Or, Chief Revenue Officer of SoéPay.
