RADIIUS BEE FAQs

You can store up to 20 cards on your Bee. This includes your credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards. In future Bee users can expect to store access control cards, and transit cards.

Bee is equipped with a biometric fingerprint scanner that makes sure you are the one true user of your Bee. You can store multiple fingerprint information and unlock the device any time before using your Bee.

The security of Bee is more nuanced and in layers. It has a biometric fingerprint scanner, it conforms to EMV Co. standards and it uses tokens instead of PAN (or real card numbers) during transactions.

In addition, Radiius does not store any sensitive information on your smartphone. All data communication is encrypted with strong keys end-to-end. We consider these as basic hygiene.

Bee does not require charging, and is expected to work for two years with normal usage.

BeeHive is a one stop Android/iOS solution that lets you add, delete, update and manage your cards for use with Bee. BeeHive is a safe and secure solution and does not store your complete payment card info anywhere in your phone or outside Bee.

In future, BeeHive plans to include money management and expense tracking solutions as well as advise to the Bee users on where to get the best deals and offers.

You can store up to 20 cards on your Bee. This includes your credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards. In future Bee users can expect to store access control cards, and transit cards.

Bee works in sync with the BeeHive, and BeeHive gives you an option to scan your cards or manually enter the details. BeeHive works in the background with bank applications to get the secured credentials and store them on Bee.

To manage cards, activating Bee and registering your fingerprint information, you’re going to need the BeeHive app. For a payment transaction on PoS terminals, you do not need the BeeHive app.

Anywhere, everywhere. As long as the retailer you’re paying at has a PoS device that supports contactless payments, your Bee will work flawlessly.

In future, you may be able to use your Bee instead of ID cards that require NFC-security walkthrough, and instead of your regular transit ticket.

Look for a terminal that has NFC sign on it.

Unlock the Bee by placing your finger on the sensor.

Bring it close to the terminal and complete the verification (signature, if needed)

That’s it!

The BeeHive app on your smartphone allows you to identify your default card. Once you mark your default card, the Bee pre-selects this card during payment. You can, of course, always select another card as your default anytime.

Your Bee comes with a 1 year warranty, that lets you replace your device in case there are any manufacturing defects. We guarantee you receive your Bee free of manufacturing defects.

Losing anything valuable can be stressful. But you need not worry about misuse of Bee. It has multiple layers of security.

Bee cannot be used without your biometrics. If any unauthorized person tries to use your Bee, it will permanently lock itself after 10 wrong tries.

Next, you can disable all the cards on Bee by using 'Disable all cards' feature in BeeHive. Your physical cards will continue to work.

You can call and ask for a replacement. You will have to pay the cost of a new Bee in your account. Radiius is planning a 24-hour replacement program for most metro locations in the United States.

Simply open the BeeHive app and activate your replacement Bee as before. The enrolled cards will automatically synch up with your new Bee and will be restored.

You will need to go through a simple process to link your new smartphone with Bee. As a part of it, we will verify you as the right owner of the Bee. Since, we do not store any payment information on the phone, the process is very secure.

This is where you get the freedom and peace of mind. You are not tied to a phone company or model in order to continue using your Bee.

Very few ATM machines work on NFC. If your ATM machine supports NFC, Bee will work.

If a transaction declines, it would most like be due to a server issue on your card providers' end. None of your transaction information goes through our servers in real time.

Stay tuned for early-bird offers.

Yes, of course! The more, the merrier. You can link all your Bees to a single BeeHive wallet (on your smartphone) and they would behave exactly like each other. So carry one on your watch, one in your handbag and one as your key fob. We leave this to your imagination.
