Go ahead. Look in your wallet. Credit cards. Loyalty cards. Debit cards. They're all based on magnetic stripe technology from the 1970s.  Stratos has created a better card.  New technology that works with existing point-of-sale terminals. Technology that helps protect consumers, merchants and banks from fraud.  And bottom line, technology that helps everyone make smarter decisions every day.  Stratos allows you to combine your plastic cards onto a single, smart card. You can load your credit, debit, loyalty, membership and gift cards onto the Stratos Card and use it anywhere your traditional cards are accepted. Instead of carrying a pocket or wallet full of cards, now you can carry just one – the Stratos Connected Card. It works wherever your other magnetic swipe cards do. If the card is lost or stolen, it automatically locks once it’s away from your phone. No information is displayed on the card, so no one can steal your account numbers or other information. It also works with your mobile phone, you can manage and sync an unlimited number of cards to Stratos Card -- helping you to make smarter and more secure payments.
