A Short Setup Video

Refer to the step-by-step guide below.

Step 1 – Link Your Payment Method

In most cases, to use your Astari wearable, you’ll first need to set up a free Curve wallet account to store the payment card(s) you’d like to use. Instead of linking your bank card directly to the wearable, you add your payment cards to your Curve wallet and then connect the wallet to your Astari device.

In some cases, certain banks allow direct connection—you can check the list of supported banks here. If your bank isn’t directly supported, no problem—simply set up a Curve account, add your payment cards, and link the Curve wallet to your wearable. Please note that Curve is only available in the UK and EEA (The EEA (European Economic Area) includes all European Union (EU) countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway).

What is Curve

Curve is our wallet partner and is typically used to connect your payment card(s) to our wearables. Simply create a Curve account, add your preferred payment cards, and link the Curve wallet to your wearable. In most cases, their free plan will be sufficient, allowing you to link up to three payment cards to your wearable.

Step 2 – Install the Manage Mii App

The Manage Mii app serves as the control center for your wearable, enabling you to set up, manage, and temporarily freeze it with ease—giving you complete control over its functionality. This is the only app required to configure and manage your wearable(s). However, the app or your phone is not needed when making payments, ensuring a truly seamless experience.

Step 3 – Pair Your Wearable

NFC Reader Location

Open the Manage Mii app and place your wearable against the back of your mobile phone to begin pairing. Refer to the image for the NFC ‘sweet spots’ based on your device type.

If you encounter any issues during pairing, try the following:

• Remove your phone case, as it may interfere with the NFC signal.

• Ensure no other payment cards are near your phone’s NFC reader, as they can cause disruptions.

• Hold the wearable still against the phone—avoid placing the phone on top of the wearable.

Step 4 – Connect Your Card or Curve Wallet

Once your payment cards are added to Curve, the next step is to link your Curve wallet or card to your wearable to complete the setup.

How to Link Your Curve Card to Your Wearable:

1. Open the Curve app and navigate to:

Launchpad → Account → Card Details

2. Locate your Curve card number and enter it into the Manage Mii app to connect the cards stored in your wallet to your wearable.

3. If you have a directly supported payment card, simply enter its card number instead.

4. Hold your wearable flat and still against the NFC point on your phone until the setup is complete.

✅ You’re now ready to tap and pay!

Important Note for Samsung Pay Curve Cards:

If you’re unable to connect your Curve card, you may be using a Samsung Pay (Curve-provided) card, which cannot be linked. You will need a regular Curve account instead. Please visit our dedicated page for instructions on how to resolve this here.

How to Make Payments with Your Wearable

  • RING

    The antenna extends around the entire ring, ensuring seamless transactions. For best performance and reliability, position the ring flat against the NFC area of the payment terminal—making a fist while tapping is a great way to achieve this.

  • BRACELET

    The payment chip is embedded behind the contactless logo in the center of the bracelet. For best performance and reliability, ensure the middle of the bracelet is positioned flat against the NFC area of the payment terminal, as shown.

  • KEYCHAIN

    The payment chip is embedded in the center of the keychain. For best performance and reliability, ensure the middle of the keychain is positioned flat against the NFC area of the payment terminal, as shown.
