British-Polish entrepreneur Wojtek Paprota claims his company Walletmor is the first ever business to sell bank card chips that can be implanted into humans.

The ‘about’ section on Walletmor’s LinkedIn reads: “Walletmor is the first-ever company providing legitimate payment implants.”

The company’s mission is to eradicate ‘bulky wallets’ and allow people to pay for things with ‘a wave of their hand’, making round-buying down the pub dangerously easy.

Walletmor’s website states that implants cost €199 (£168) and entail a three-step process.

Firstly, customers must download an app called iCard – which is a digital wallet that can be linked to the Walletmor implant – and set up an account.

Next, customers must activate their implant via the iCard app and add money to their account.

The final step is booking an appointment to have the implant installed at a medical aesthetics clinic.

The implant is injected on the outside of the hand or in the forearm, just above the wrist. It’s recommended not to have the implant injected on a location where you’d normally wear jewellery or a watch.

A warning on Walletmor’s site reads: “Injecting the Walletmor implant is relatively easy, however, we do not recommend performing the injection process on your own.

“Not only every surgeon but also every piercer from your hometown is able to perform the installation process with the attached instruction.”

“I have no physical side effects and I tend to forget that I have an implant in my hand.”

The paper said that Paprota had been ‘repurposing’ chips from MuchBetter, a third party supplier associated with Mastercard.

Both companies are said to have ‘pulled the plug’ on Walletmor after learning of its actions and UK customers have allegedly had their accounts shut down.

MailOnline also claimed that customers have now been left with ‘redundant’ chips implanted in their skin and their only option is to have them removed, although Walletmor ‘insists it’s looking at ways to reprogram the chips’.

he dissolved his SF Transit Clipper Card in acetone to get at the NFC tag embedded inside. The tag consists of a tiny chip attached to an antenna the size of the card itself. It took about three days (video below the break) for the layers to separate and [Stephen] was able to extricate the tag.

One supposes the transit pass idea might save you a little time, but what would really simplify your life would be having a single wearable tag that unlocked a bunch of things.

Tired of bulking up your wallet with several different credit cards, id cards, and transit cards?

We found out a way to extract the key functional components from the Clipper Card, and mold it into a variety of wearable devices, including a small rubber plate, a waterproof aspirin band, and a breadboard bracelet.

Bless you!
