Visa To Push Swipeless Credit Cards

Posted by Zonk on from the tossing-your-money-into-the-aether dept.

BobPaul wrote in to mention an initiative by Visa to allow for swipeless credit card transactions. From the article: "...consumers need only wave credit and debit cards within a few inches of a reader to complete a purchase. And for purchases of less than $25, no signature is required...Each transmission between card and reader has a unique code that cannot be reused even if it is intercepted". Update: 02/25 16:06 GMT by Z : References to RFID technology removed.

    If God were a nerd and he actually existed, he would look down upon you and shake his head in disgust as you turn him into a mockery with these shitty articles, polls et al instead of truly glorifying him with good news for nerds.
