I don’t know about you, but every time that I use by a credit card online with a new store or service, I have to take a deep breath before clicking on the payment button.
However, apparently it does not have to be like that as this device allows us to make purchase online free from the fear of malware and viruses that could possibly be hiding within your computer. It works because you only have to swipe the card and the software does the rest for you.
It sounds good, but with most payments you still have to give the security number and sometime verify that you are the card holder, so I am not sure how that works.
Features of the secure online payment system:
The included software works with your browser such that when you go to a website and are ready to purchase an item or service, a swipe of your card through the device encrypts your credit card data before it reaches your computer. The software then inserts the encrypted number into the credit card field on the website you are visiting. The software never stores your credit card number on your computer. Works with Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 6 or higher (Firefox support is forthcoming). 3″ L x 2″ W x 1 1/2″ H. (6 oz.)
Priced at $89.95
