According to bbc2 ceefax a new card with a smart chip has been on test in nottingham for the past 3 months and is now to be rolled out across the uk asap - they wxpect 1/5th of all cards to be replaced by christmas.
the new card contains more data and is believed to be much more difficult so skim/copy and i think customers will need to key a pin number when making transactions.
I wondered who manufacturers these cards - must be a big future in this area and how will this effect the likes of retail decisions? will there technology be needed in the future?
