Coin
A mobile wallet that allows you to pay everywhere credit cards are…
What they do
Consumers and wearable makers need a simpler, secure way to make payments across many merchants without carrying multiple cards or building payment integrations from scratch.
Coin provides a secure smart payment device in a credit-card form factor that stores multiple cards for swipe/tap payments, plus a developer program to integrate secure payments into wearables.
Consumers who want to consolidate cards and pay easily, and wearable device makers/developers integrating payments into their products.
