The Pay2 Concept:

the Maestro or Visa Electron banner. The Pay2 Card is designed to be a stored
value card and once loaded, can be used at ATM's, Points of Sale, on the
Internet or to transfer funds from card to card. The Pay2 Card is a secure
payment method which is PIN driven.
To achieve these functions the Pay2 Card utilizes Pay2 technology, some of which
is the subject of provisional - patent applications and is still in a
developmental stage. The technologies necessary for the basic function of the
Pay2 Card as outlined in this description have already been developed. As
further technologies are developed, they will be used to further enhance the
functions of the Pay2 Card.
