The first batch of new Visa cards for contactless payments in the U.S. this week will be at the disposal of Mountain America Credit Union and Bank of Cyprus, the company said, reports Rus.Media.

The world is moving rapidly to a future that will not contain passwords, since consumers understand how biometric technology can make their life easier, – said the head of global commercial solutions Visa Inc. Jack Forestell.

Biometric fingerprint is stored only on the card to protect the data. The pilot project of cards will begin in early 2018.
