Compatibility: The card is designed to work with both contact and contactless payment systems, making it versatile and compatible with a wide range of card readers.
Anti-Tampering Features: SmartMetric’s cards are equipped with advanced anti-tampering features that can deactivate the card or alert the issuer if tampering is detected.
