In September the Interac Association announced the completion of Canada’s first debit card transaction using chip technology at a point-of-sale terminal. The transaction was processed by TD Merchant Services using a BMO Bank of Montreal chip debit card at Mercato Giovanni’s Fresh Food in Toronto. This demonstration transaction leads into a Kitchener-Waterloo, Ont., market trial of chip technology this fall.
Chip technology is said to provide increased protection against debit and credit card fraud. Merchants and cardholders will start to see chips appear in cards, bank machines and POS terminals in 2008.
Bluetooth headsets are very useful - until you misplace them. When you lose the attractive little S-800, you use your phone to signal the headset to start buzzing.
