1. A contactless payment device comprising:
a wireless communication device;
a power source;
a processor coupled to the power source;
an accelerometer communicatively coupled to the processor and the power source; and
an actuator communicatively coupled to the wireless communication device and the processor, the actuator being configured to:
activate the wireless communication device when the actuator is set in a closed state, and
deactivate the wireless communication device when the actuator is set in an open state;
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive an incoming signal from the accelerometer;
determine whether the incoming signal corresponds to a pre-programmed signal corresponding to an enabling gesture by analyzing the incoming signal to identify dominant gesture frequencies;
set the actuator in the closed state when the incoming signal corresponds to the enabling gesture;
receive a verification request from a payment terminal via the wireless communication device;
upon determining the verification request is verified, transmit instructions to the wireless communication device to transmit information to the payment terminal; and
upon transmitting the instructions, set the actuator in the open state.
