Visa launches mini credit card
‘Visa USA has started shipping a mini credit card that fits on a keychain and only requires the user to pass it over a scanner in order to make a purchase.
The “Contactless Mini Card” is meant as a complement to a regular credit or debit card, Visa said. The smaller card’s advantage is in its convenience.
At half the size of a regular credit card, it can be attached to a key chain for easy access. The mini card includes a radio-frequency identification chip and antenna that makes it readable by a scanner. It also has a magnetic strip for use in more traditional credit-card machines used by retailers.’
