Mastercard delivering cards with OTP device included
by Manuel Humberto Santander Pelaez (Version: 1)
I live in a country where credit and debit card fraud is pretty high and unfortunately banks have not provided secure means to avoid credit and debit card cloning. In USA, I have seen OTP devices to access online banking, but credit cards are pretty much the same. I learned that Mastercard will provide credit cards with OTP included. This is great news because will decrease bank fraud a lot.
