Forget Your Phones & Cards, Now Pay With Microchip Implants Embedded In Your Hands

Firstpost  

Imagine this - you have gone out shopping but you have forgotten your wallet, or have left it in your car. The digital payment app that you normally use, is also acting up maybe because of network issues, or maybe, your bank’s network is just acting up. Walletmor, a UK based fintech firm has successfully tested and deployed a rather unique payment system, that uses NFC based microchip implants that get embedded in your hand. The founder of the company, Wojtek Paprota, and Patrick Paumen, one of the earliest adopters of the tech have been testing this out on themselves since 2019, when Paumen first implanted a microchip that was based on the NFC based payment systems that came with certain smartphones. Addressing this concern, Walletmor put out a video on their YouTube channel, explaining that they ship the implant in a sterilization pouch that is sealed inside a polymer pouch with chlorhexidine gluconate solution, a compound used in surgical procedures as an antiseptic and germicide dermal treatment.
