For decades, we have been using our credit and debit cards all over the world. The system put in place by Visa, MasterCard, American Express and others is so ubiquitous and convenient that we don’t even think about it. We just know it will work and that we are protected. Now, we have all heard about Identity Theft and fraudulent transactions. Is the system that safe? What to expect with new technologies like contactless in a card or even in a cell phone? How long will it take to reach our pockets and how do we stay protected with these new payment means?
