The new card records personal bank information, customer information and safety information, which will be transferred to the receiving device through audio when the card holder presses the button on the card to complete a transaction.
The card generates a different audio sound for each transaction, which cannot be utilized more than once.
The data and operational system are secured by a safety encryption, which generates different passwords for different transactions, thereby making it more difficult for hackers to steal such data.
It also features a triple verification system to secure transactions. The identity of the cardholder will be verified in three ways, confirming the transaction channel, verifying the government identification and answering a set of dynamic security questions.
