NagraID has been in the payment card space for more than five years producing display cards that consumers can use for an extra layer of security when making purchases, says Don Malloy, business development manager at the company. The cards, which can be EMV enabled, have a display that shows a one-time passcode that can be used when making purchases.

The card manufacturer also has a newer product that has the cardholder enter a PIN that produces a one-time passcode that is used as an extra security factor when performing a transaction. The display can also show a cardholder the balance on an account. [end]
