Using SmartCards is faster and cheaper than the common debit and credit cards from the banking system and is easy to set up.

It contains an encrypted QR code for faster access. The final card can be used virtually or as a printed physical card and does not require any internet connection for the customer.

The merchant has its own point of sale app to transmit transactions for you. It automatically calculates the price from the selected currency into SmartCash. With a scan of the buyers encrypted QR code located on the SmartCard the transaction gets initiated and finally confirmed via the pin number of the card holder. The payment is instant and costs only a small blockchain fee worth a fraction of a cent.
