You may have experienced the awkward moment when you realize you've forgotten your wallet or card at home or somewhere else when you're ready to pay for something. With technology, it seems like these moments will soon be eliminated.
A new card promises to help you pay with a swipe of your hand, so you won't have to worry about such awkward moments again.
PulseWallet synchronizes your credit card with your palm via an internal biometric device. Using Fujitsu's built-in palm scanning technology called Palm Secure, the electronic device photographs a person's unique vein pattern beneath the skin.
Each person's unique vein pattern makes it extremely difficult to copy, and misuse, the card.

“You are your wallet. You’ve ensured that only you hold the key,” the website says.
So you can easily swipe your hand over the scanner that will be present at every PulseWallet-partnered business. The system was officially unveiled this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and will hit the market in February, as reported by the Verge.
