Offering an interesting take on simplifying mobile payments, Plastc's card can take the form of any credit or debit card and uses an e-Ink display to show the necessary information. Aiming to simplify payments, the card will use programmable NFC and RFID to enable payment and verification.

Aiming to be the only card you carry, you load virtually any other card into Plastc via the companion Plastc Wallet app and a low-energy Bluetooth connection the card can also imitate utility cards, such as RFID-based building access cards. This smart card needs to be recharged once a week using a wireless charging dock. This Apple Pay competitor can be ordered at plastc.com for $155, with shipping timed for next summer.
