The first thing you think of when you leave your house is often “Where’s my wallet?” or “Where’s my phone?”. Those two objects are such a part of everyday life, that you can’t leave home without them. Your wallet/purse is even more important, because it holds your extra cash, credit cards, and ID. But what if you didn’t need a credit card? That’s where PayTango comes in.

PayTango is a new way of biometric paying. Biometrics have been bursting in many fields, such as smartphone authentication. PayTango is hoping to harness the power of something everyone has and is unique for everyone: your fingerprint. Imagine taking all your cards, such as your debit, credit and ID cards, and associating them all with your fingertips, bearing a wallet obsolete (unless you have extra cash).

Security is another big issue that PayTango takes care of. You could even leave you credit cards at home. Everyone knows that your fingerprint is unique, so unless the thief has compete access to your fingers, he’s out of luck. For some things you would have to keep your credit card with you, like using a ATM (which, sooner or later, may integrate PayTango technology) and associating your fingers with your cards at the start. But most of the time, you won’t even need you credit cards. And if most of the stores in your area embrace PayTango, credit cards wouldn’t be needed at all. That’s what biometrics offers. Biometrics help make things easier, safer and faster. Just imagine walking into a shop, picking out what you want, and in 1 second, checking out. Lines would go by faster than the cashier could say, “That would be $5.99.” The future of shopping is bright.
