What is a Smart Card, and How Can This Technology Help My Business?

A Smart Card is basically a card embedded with a computer chip. Smart Cards are extremely simple to use and to accept, and they can give cardholders an increased amount of convenience and control. These cards can even remember past card activity and keep track of purchases, offering retailers and service providers lots of marketing opportunities.

Smart cards have a lot of benefits, and are incredibly secure.  For example, a smart card can be programmed to only allow a contactless transaction if it is also within range of another device like a uniquely paired mobile phone.
