The Hengbao Panda—NFC Payment Stand supports contactless payment and doubles as a phone stand, offering users an intelligent, efficient, convenient, secure payment solution with enhanced practicality. The giant panda—the national treasure of China—is also a carrier of Chinese culture, which symbolizes the unique spirits and profound cultural deposits of the Chinese nation. Inspired by that, the product utilizes graceful lines to depict an adorable panda, creating an approachable, healing atmosphere and conveying distinctive cultural charm. The classic black-and-white color scheme, simple yet elegant, makes the product highly recognizable.

Functionally, the Hengbao Panda—NFC Payment Stand innovatively integrates NFC technology for contactless payment. Benefiting from the built-in antenna that has passed through tests conducted by the Digital Currency Institute, it can well adapt to digital currency applications and transactions. This significantly shortens transaction time, providing an efficient and secure payment experience for users. For better interactivity, the product incorporates a rotatable element, greatly improving fun of use.

The Hengbao Panda—NFC Payment Stand also emphasizes safety and environmental friendliness. The main body, crafted from acrylic using the high-precision CNC engraving process, is non-toxic, odorless, lightweight, durable, and weather resistant with excellent corrosion resistance and stability. In addition, the product can be softened and reshaped through heating for recycling and repurposing, minimizing environmental impact and fulfilling the brand’s commitment to sustainable development.
