Is PayPal The Fifth Credit Card?
Is PayPal The Fifth Credit Card?
05/03/2004 01:45 PMAfter working incredibly hard in the legal arena to make sure that
they weren't declared a bank, PayPal is now doing much more to
appear
bank-like to websites that want to take transactions. They're
implementing a series of web services designed to make it easier to
incorporate a PayPal option for commerce sites, along with traditional
credit cards. Of course, some are pointing out that the demand just
isn't there for such things. The end-users don't see much benefit if
the site already has a merchant account and can offer credit card
payments. There isn't much of a benefit to end users to use PayPal
when they can just as easily use a credit card. The only advantage is
to sites that can't afford or don't want a merchant account of their
own - and they're probably already using PayPal.

Credit Card Breaches Not Only Old Hat,
But Also Declining
Credit Card Breaches Not Only Old Hat,
But Also Declining
06/22/2005 02:17 AMIn the wake of CardSystems
outra
geous 40 million customer data exposure and its
seemi
ngly quaint predecessors, the Monday morning quarterbacks are
weighing to explain what we've all known for a while now:
security breaches of this kind are nothing new,
it's just that we're finding out about them more. In fact, the
evidence shows that the incidence of
credit card fraud is actually
declining. Turns out that banks and merchants have been
tackling this issue for some time, and actually reduced illegal credit
card purchases by $100 million between 2003 and 2004. The industry
still has a ways to go (after all, $788 million worth of fraud is
still a serious problem), but at least there are signs of improvement.
The same can't be said of identity theft, which the BusinessWeek story
says is slightly on the rise and probably fueling the misperception
about fraud in general. Of course, identity theft is a much more
damaging crime with fewer solutions than a bunch of fake charges on
your credit card. And, scammers don't need to swipe tons of data to
cause widespread problems. Just a couple hundred thousand people's
info will do.

Entering credit card numbers
Entering credit card numbers
02/10/2004 02:44 PMBruce Tognazzini writes in his Ask Tog column Top 10 Reasons to Not
Shop On Line: "...Why can’t I input my credit card number the way it
appears on the card? Why do I have to suck the extra spaces out,
making it all but impossible to re-scan it for errors? We’re talking
three spaces here, three bytes." (via Usability Views) I will quite
often try to see if a credit card number field gives me enough room to
enter it with spaces. If it does, I will then delete the spaces
because I know so many places can't handle them. Any of you web
programmers out there, tell me you couldn't write code to strip three
spaces out of a credit card number? We're talking regular expressions
101 here. In a similar vein, I once asked a programmer I was working
with to allow social security numbers to accept both no spaces or
hyphens, and they told me the code to take hyphens out was easier than
the code insisting the user enter it without hyphens....

04/30/2004 12:44 AMVisa Toys With Credit Card Displays
"Visa International is experimenting with credit cards that include
a small display screen where customers could view recent transactions,
bank balances, or local currency exchange rates, says Deborah Arnold,
Visa's vice president of global consumer strategies....
Visa expects to have produced working prototypes of the devices in
about a year's time, Arnold says, although with security and other
technology issues still to be ironed out, it's likely to be a few
years before such cards become widely available. In addition, the
LCD-like screens being used in early designs are too fragile for
everyday use, Arnold says....
Another issue with the use of display screens on credit cards is
cost-effectiveness, she says. 'It's all expensive--the cost of the
battery, the display, hooking [the display] up to the chip. The
initial cards with these displays are going to be very expensive,' she
says....
Clearly, displaying personal account information on a card presents
potential security concerns, and Visa is looking at technologies such
as biometrics and passwords to secure access. Banks and end users will
help to determine how much security is necessary, and certain
information, such as points accrued through loyalty programs, might
not need much protection, she says." [PCWorld.com]
An interesting idea, and you have to wonder if these catch on
someday, will patrons expect to be able to read their library cards,
too? Could be kind of handy to be able to whip out your library card

wanted to see just how important credit security was when he used his
card at various stores and restaurants. He starts out slow - signing
names other than his own, advances to wacky names like Beethoven, and
even devolved into drawing ducks, hieroglyphics, and a little grid
picture. None of it mattered. (The photos are hilarious.) Eventually
he started signing blatant theft…

question that middle part, however. Unfortunately, using credit cards
