Sticker NFC debit card

As we all know IDFC has been already launched its sticker based first debit card called “Tap & pay - First Tap” with Rupay network. This is first bank and the only bank.

Will Jupiter consider this? It will a great feature for phone and smartwatches without NFC built-in.
I am ready for pay the annual subscription fee or to maintain MAB.

I visited their website, it is a sticker based DC.
It means anything can be made a DC to use as Tap to pay :grin:. Phone, Wallet, Notebook, small pocket diary, a playing card, practically anything can be converted into a DC. But, only for the purpose of Tap to pay, you cannot swipe it or use it to withdraw cash ( you can use cardless withdrawal option). It seems like revolutionary and very promising. Let’s see how users adopt it.

5 star to IDFC Bank team for this idea. Perhaps Jupiter can also launch its own version :credit_card:. I will eagerly adopt it.

Thanks to @0Abhi0 for sharing it.

@Manish2 ,
I remember that @Aswin_Benny previously discussed this topic in the past. (I still remember this conversation, as it involved an innovative concept from IDFC.) :smiley:

The glue on IDFC’s sticker debit card, Firstap, is so weak that it can fall off anywhere on the road and you wouldn’t even know. They didn’t make the glue strong enough. Will need it to stick it with a stronger glue.

I am just wondering. Why should only debit card get a sticker? Why not the edge credit card?

Yes, even sticker based credit can also be provided.

Then, maybe we can stick two stickers on phone and it will act as two in one Card.

Disable CC/DC as per your usage and convience.

Good idea. But I think it might be too much for me to handle. :grimacing:
