Basically ditching card readers and the use of "memorable name" for VBV, will be done by prompting customers to sign into the app or sending a code via sms or email. Can't say I'll miss the card reader!

I will miss card readers. They are more secure by far. SIM card swap attacks are very common nowadays.davidwatts wrote: »Can't say I'll miss the card reader!0 -
