We already introduced our virtual cards to all our users and they are familiar with the use of the card. However, in the year 2020, we wanted to introduce physical cards, but we wanted to do something new. Bringing something new was intentional and we deliberately stopped the launch of our physical card.

So let’s dive into what QR Code is and how it helps you pay securely.

QR code payment is a contactless payment method where payment is performed by scanning a QR code from a mobile app. This is an alternative to doing electronic funds transfer at point of sale using a payment terminal. Wikipedia

Although QR Code is somehow similar to the linear barcodes we often see on products in stores, the QR Code is safer because the information contained in it can be encrypted. This is why we are bringing a secure means of making contactless and secure payments offline.

As we understand that the COVID-19 virus is still very much around, we can’t sit and watch and not do anything. We had to evolve and innovate more on delivering a completely easy, secure, and faster way to make contactless payment offline, and it has come to stay.

As long as we are making security and ease of use a priority, we also want to make the card look exactly like one that you’re already familiar with. So, when you walk into a store, you don’t have to touch any other thing aside from the things you already bought. As you are checking out, you pay with the secure QR code card to complete the checkout. That process keeps you safe anywhere.

Finally, we won’t forget to tell you that the card is powered by VISA

As long as you are a user of FXKudi, you will have access to requesting a physical card.

If not, you can join FXkudi by downloading our app on Google Play Store or App Sore
