According to the company, the new cards will offer a secure payment option and are widely accepted online, and in stores, restaurants and ATM machines globally.

Global Payout CEO Jim Hancock said, "Experts estimate there is approximately $3 trillion of cash and check expenditures that are ripe for electronic conversion."
