CORAL SPRINGS, FL - 2014 will mark another year in which digital money continues to forge forward. NXT-ID is prepared to take full advantage of digital currency's rising popularity, as the company will release its much-anticipated "smart wallet", the Wocket in the first quarter of this year. The Wocket is a next generation platform that is designed to provide consumers with the convenience of packaging all cards in your wallet into one dynamic card. This includes debit, credit, loyalty cards, coupons and more. The Wocket will also avoid any assimilation obstacles, as it will work wherever credit cards are accepted.
"It's been heavily publicized that the U.S. is using outdated credit card technology," wrote Julie May of the Tennessean. "But not for long, because digital wallets such as COIN and The Wocket® will be hitting the market in 2014. Digital wallets aggregate multiple credit cards and, in some cases, personal identification onto one card that can be used for purchases anywhere that accepts credit cards. They provide an additional level of security over current credit cards."
