NEXT-GENERATION CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS RING UP SPEED AND CONVENIENCE

June 28, 2006

The latest innovation in payments is making the purchase process easier than ever. Consumers will soon have a faster, more convenient way to pay for just about anything, thanks to a revolutionary new kind of credit card - Chase credit cards with blink. Credit cards with blink take a traditional credit card and add a new feature - embedded technology that allows consumers to pay by simply holding the card near a secure reader, instead of swiping the card or handing it to a cashier. The new point-of-sale terminal will quickly emit a tone and signal - or blink - indicating payment confirmation. For consumers, credit cards with blink make paying for everyday purchases faster and easier.
