Coin eight-in-one Bluetooth credit card adds security features, boosted pre-order availability
Judging by the millions of YouTube views since it launched just last week, there's quite a bit of interest in Coin. The Bluetooth-enabled swipeable
lets you add in identifying info from up to eight individual credit,
debit, membership, loyalty and gift cards, and comes along with
companion Android and iOS apps that boost functionality. While the
applications enable you to save detailed card info for online purchases,
push additional payment methods to Coin and access the
Bluetooth-powered leash that will send an alert if you walk away without
your card, the device works independently as well.
The company is announcing some additional security
features today that should serve to ease at least some fraud concerns.
Coin will include an "alarm" that tracks the number of times the card is
swiped and sends an app alert if it suspects unauthorized use. It can
also be locked to just one card before you hand it over at a store or
restaurant, so a clerk can't accidentally (or deliberately) swap cards
before swiping. Reps also responded to 50 questions on a new Q&A
page, addressing additional security-related and function queries,
including ATM compatibility (yes, it will work), photo ID storage (uh,
no) and chip and pin support (not yet, but it's in the works). The firm
is also releasing additional cards for pre-order, so if you want to get
in before the price jumps to $100, there's still time to hand over 50 bucks (plus $5 shipping) at the source link below.
