Square? Psssh, who has time to swipe their credit card in a dongle. How old fashioned! Meet Card.io, which takes a photo of your credit card, reads off the numbers, encrypts them and sends them out to whomever you’re buying things from — without saving any of the information. Would it be any quicker than manually typing out all 16 numbers? Well, that’s debatable, but it should reduce the incidence of sausage-finger related mistypes.
Card.io is releasing the API to developers so that you can get this into your app as soon as possible, and get people paying in another easy way.
