NFC is far from common place and other options replace the card entirely with a smartphone. Agreed, it will surely work with current card readers.

Maybe the "arse" end of the card (which would never go in a reader anyway) is thicker cos it houses the LCD display? The numbers bit probably doesn't add much thickness. It's an interesting concept, not the first time I've seen it, but nice to see it's come to fruition.

I do wonder how thick it is though - in order to have appreciable battery life and durability, I doubt it's thin enough to be used in a standard card reader. This is actually a really good idea.
