Gesture-Controlled Payment Instrument

A method comprising:

• storing, with a memory of a payment instrument, gesture data associated with one or more predefined gestures;
• detecting, with a contactless chip of the payment instrument, an operating field of an access device;
• establishing, with the contactless chip of the payment instrument, a communication with the access device through a near-field communication protocol;
• capturing, with a sensor of the payment instrument, further gesture data associated with one or more gestures made by a user with the payment instrument in the operating field of the access device;
• comparing, with a processor of the payment instrument, the further gesture data associated with the one or more captured gestures to the gesture data associated with the one or more predefined gestures stored in the memory of the payment instrument to determine whether a captured gesture of the one or more captured gestures matches at least one of the one or more predefined gestures;
• in response to the captured gesture of the one or more captured gestures not matching a predefined gesture of the one or more predefined gestures stored in the memory of the payment instrument, incrementing, with the processor of the payment instrument, a counter;
• and
• controlling, with the processor of the payment instrument, based on a current count of the counter, a visual output component of the payment instrument to provide a visual output to the user.
