Innovating in cards is a masterclass in overcoming complexity. A card has to work perfectly. Not “most of the time,” not “good enough.” Every. Single. Time. It’s the gold standard of payments. (Meanwhile, wearables and phones get graded on a curve.) Cards are tested to absurd extremes. Picture a low-power terminal, and your card has to work hovering 4 cm above it. That’s just the baseline. Then, add luxury: it’s not enough to be functional. A metal card has to feel smooth, solid, and heavy in hand. And finally, scale. You’re not making boutique prototypes; you’re manufacturing millions with perfect consistency. Functionality. Elegance. Scalability. These layers combine into third-order challenges every time you try to innovate. But when you nail it you’re holding more than a card. You’re holding an experience.

For years, strengthening payment security meant adding friction—longer authentication steps, verification codes, and delays. But innovation is proving that security and seamless experiences don’t have to be at odds. As Adam Lowe, Ph.D., PhD, Chief Product & Innovation Officer at Arculus/CompoSecure, told PYMNTS: “The most important thing in design is absolutely putting the end user and the customer first.” Operating in a B2B2C space, where solutions must meet both financial institutions' security needs and consumers' demand for ease, Arculus is pioneering approaches that make security invisible yet effective. ???? Payment security shouldn’t be a hurdle—it should be an enabler. The future is about trust without friction.

The DC Blockchain Summit was a excellent event hosted by the The Digital Chamber. The panel reinforced that the option to self-custody is critical and foundational to crypto.

Authentication times reveal unexpected patterns: smaller banks take longer (3.2 minutes) while the largest institutions ($100B+) are fastest at 2.7 minutes. With 41% of fraud coming from stolen credentials, tap-to-authenticate cards are gaining traction. See the data in our ap-to-Authenticate Payment Cards Report with Arculus: https://hubs.ly/Q03dtZZR0

"Crypto without self-custody is TradFi with a different database."- Tom D'Eletto, Arculus. #DCBlockchain 2025

Grateful to Arculus for the collaboration with PYMNTS Intel here: Traditional authentication methods have become confusing and ineffective as banks report that the top authentication-related fraud threat stems from stolen or falsified credentials. #Authentication #FraudPrevention #DigitalSecurity #PaymentsInnovation #FinTech #CustomerExperience #Banking #Cybersecurity #MetalPaymentCards #FinancialServices #PYMNTSIntelligence
