Credit Card Keypad

With identity theft, particularly using credit details on the increase these days, you might want to take advantage of the Keypad Credit Card.

To operate the card you enter a PIN number from the pad on the back which generates a one time pass code to be used for more secure online purchases. Without the input of this mandatory number, the card is considered useless and will cease to function.

Many people are unsure about making online purchases and can only benefit from the extra protection the Keypad Credit Card offers. Each layer of protection is always a benefit to any consumer, as it instills confidence when using such a card.

How this affects ordinary High Street store purchases might be a problem but we imagine this will work as well as any regular credit card. Initial details remain sketchy and whether or not this addition becomes a chore rather than an advantage.
