How the Smart Buddy Tag Works
The Smart Buddy Tag is a clever protective casing that securely holds your Smart Buddy payment chip.
Simply slot your chip into the tag, and then easily attach it to the strap of your child's myFirst Fone. This allows your child to tap-and-pay at Smart Buddy enabled schools (including selected school canteens, bookshops, and general offices) and over 10,000 NETS merchants island-wide.
