A card for storing both emergency information and payment information is disclosed. The card can be used by an emergency responder to retrieve emergency information for the user. The emergency information can enable the emergency responder to better render aid to the user. The card can have one or more processors, a sensor, and a memory in communication with the one or more processors and storing an application thereon. The application can cause the card to receive a request from a user device (e.g., from an emergency medical technician, or EMT) to access emergency information stored in the memory, transmit a security challenge to the user device, authenticate a received response to the security challenge from the user device, and transmit the emergency information to the user device.

Various embodiments are generally directed to copying data to a clipboard of a mobile device from a contactless card using NFC. A mobile device may issue a request to read data from the contactless card. The contactless card may generate encrypted data in response to the request. The mobile device may receive the encrypted data via NFC and transmit the encrypted data to a server for verification. The server may verify the encrypted data and transmit an indication of an account number for the contactless card to the mobile device. The mobile device may then copy the account number to a clipboard of the mobile device.

In some implementations, a physical medium may include a radio frequency (RF) component and an integrated circuit (IC) chip component. The physical medium may be configured to detect, via the RF component, that the physical medium is within a communicative proximity of a first user device or a first medium associated with a first account. The physical medium may communicate, via the RF component, with the first user device or the first medium based on detecting that the physical medium is within the communicative proximity of the first user device or the first medium. The physical medium may configure the IC chip component to indicate that the physical medium is paired with the first account. The physical medium may transmit, via the RF component or the IC chip component and to a terminal, an indication that the physical medium is paired with the first account.

Various embodiments for contextual tapping engines. For example, an application executing on a computing device may authenticate credentials associated with an account and detect a tap of a contactless card to the computing device. The application may receive, from a communications interface of the contactless card, action data used to determine an action associated with the tap of the contactless card to the computing device. The application may determine a context of the application based on a current output of the application. The application may determine, based on the action data, the determined context, and data associated with the account, a first action associated with the tap of the contactless card to the computing device, the first action associated with at least one of the application and an operating system (OS). The application may initiate performance of the first action based on the tap of the contactless card.

A configured application for authorizing a credit card by a user and a method that may include receiving an electronic request to pair a mobile device associated with a user with a credit card of the user. The credit card may include a location tracking circuitry to remotely communicate a location of the credit card to a remote electronic recipient. The location of the credit card may be received by a processor from the remote electronic recipient. A proximity multi-factor authentication may verify that the user is an authorized user of the credit card. The mobile device associated with the user may be paired with the credit card of the user after verifying that the user is the authorized user. The processor may receive the location of the credit card paired with the mobile device from the remote electronic recipient. The location of the credit card may be displayed on a display of the mobile device associated with the user.

The present disclosure provides an electronic badge and a housing for the same. The housing includes: a rear case defining a main board cavity, and formed with a display opening in communication with the main board cavity and a profile card receiving slot located outside the main board cavity; and a front case detachably disposed on the rear case to enclose the profile card receiving slot or both the display opening and the profile card receiving slot, a portion of the front case opposite the profile card receiving slot or both the display opening and the profile card receiving slot being made of a transparent material.

Wait times at ATMs may undermine the utility of these self-service machines. ATMs are configured to provide faster self-service kiosks that allow users to quickly perform common financial transactions. However, it has bees increasing common for users to have to wait on a line to access an ATM. Apparatus and methods are provided for a smart card that stages transactions by capturing the amount, pin and other necessary information on the smart card itself, before the user begins interacting with the ATM. Information captured by the smart card may be transferred to ATM when the smart card is inserted into ATM. The user does not provide the ATM with any additional information after inserted the smart card into the ATM, thereby improving the transaction processing efficiency of the ATM and enhancing user satisfaction.

Embodiments provide methods and systems for determining and displaying health status of a payment card. The payment card includes a planar body, an interconnection circuit, and a display section. The planar body houses a payment card processing section. The interconnection circuit is configured within the planar body. The interconnection circuit is configured to generate a damage signal in response to a physical damage of at least a portion of the planar body or the payment card processing section. The display section is positioned in the planar body for displaying a visual information indicating health status of the payment card in response to the damage signal for a cardholder.
