In the advent of alternative ways of paying like Applepay and Samsungpay. The financial technology market or “fintech” as it is now dubbed are looking for new simple ways to get us spending.
Meet Curve. A payment card that promises to be the only card you will need.
How it works, you simply download the phone app and order the card (yes it comes with an actual card). You add all your payment cards on the app, choose a default card, and viola! You wouldn’t need your phone for anything else until you decide to change the default payment card or want to see a break down of your outgoing and incoming transactions.
The card itself is a Mastercard, so you can use your it anywhere Mastercard is accepted. It can be used as a chip and pin, magnetic strip swipe or contactless. So it really is a well rounded solution for someone with many cards. You can leave all other cards at home and just have your Curve card with you.
Don’t cut up your cards yet though, as the Curve is not yet out for use. The idea is out there and they are bringing it to reality soon! This means these types of services will be flooding the market soon enough!
Plastc, a competitor is already coming out with its own card and is a real contender and a bit more style to it. However, it needs to be charged electrically every month! see below!
We call this innovation meets simplicity! Kudos to the inventors of this brilliant idea. We do hope they stay ahead of the curve!
