Your wallet may soon be obsolete. What we’ll be using instead...

Forgot your wallet? No problem...

Soon, industry experts predict we’ll be using our fingerprints instead. New technology called Paytouch has already gone live at resorts in Ibiza, an island off the coast of Spain - and it’s got European and U.S. retailers chomping at the bit. Paytouch links your fingerprints to your debit or credit card accounts. Just touch two fingers to the digit pad and you’ve bought it. No swiping, pins or cumbersome cash required.

Paytouch plans to open offices in the U.S. within the next 12 months but it will take a while to get the necessary fingerprint infrastructure up and running.
