In the early years of the 1980s industry boom, customer-selected PINs on cards and the first 2-Factor authentication devices came out. At a microcircuit chip conference in 1989, industry leaders anticipated that magnetic stripe cards would be replaced and phased out by chip cards within the next 4 years. Thirty years later, these technologies are not only enduring, but also developing and evolving in combination with each other.
Cashless online technologies are bound to change the balance of proportion of cash use versus technology-based payments. Then again, retailers and customers continue to trust cash-in-hand or precious metal commodities, mainly less stable economies with experience of financial collapse. A country’s ability to support the required technical infrastructure remains massively different across the world. In the USA, over the past decade, overabundance of metal investment traders have also emerged claiming shares for personal investment portfolios. Evidently, these prevaricate against single location wealth risks.
In these days, no single leader is likely to enter in worldwide interoperable technologies, or to replace the other physical negotiables in today’s cashless race. MillenTech CTI understands that financial stability, security, and trust are key drivers to acceptance of the multiplicity of varied technologies and physical value bearing payment negotiables working together in parallel, and is therefore developing more secure card and ID management solutions.
