GO CASHLESS AT DELFEST

  • Cash, credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay also accepted.

QUICK JUMP:

HOW IT WORKS

The system will link your wristband to your credit card and will only pull from funds as you spend. You’ll create an open credit card registration that’s securely associated with your wristband’s RFID unique identifier that will link directly like a debit/credit card for “limitless” spending throughout the event on all of your purchases. Once everything is linked up, you’ll be able to tap your wristband to purchase your drinks, food and DelFest merch (craft vendors not included).

It’s fast and seamless, so you’ll spend less time waiting in line for drinks/food, and you can take a dip in the river without worrying about your wallet! (Just remember to bring it when shopping at the craft vendors!).

HOW TO SET IT UP

The fastest way to register to go cashless is to use your smartphone! When you arrive at DelFest and receive your wristband, follow the instructions below, and you’re good to go! On-site registration is available as well and takes two minutes.

ADDITIONAL SECURITY REASSURANCE FOR OUR ATTENDEES

  • Two Factor Authorization: All attendees have the ability to pin protect their wristbands and purchases upon account registration. In the event your wristband is lost, pin creation will prevent the use of your wristband for any transactions. 

  • Active Wristband Management: The system includes dashboard functionality to search for and block specific wristbands from making purchases. This can be utilized if there is suspicion of fraud or an instance where an attendee has lost their wristband and had not elected to pin protect their purchases.

  • Vaulting: No credit card information is stored locally on the wristband. At no point does the DelFest ever have access to your credit or debit card information.  The wristband merely acts as a link to a cloud based stripe where that information is securely stored, and that link is only activated through our software. If an attendee was to lose their wristband there would be no way to extract any information from the wristband.
