Excerpt from Aite Report:
Founded in 2012
HQ in Shelton, Connecticut
On May 28, 2014, NXT-ID plans to launch its smart wallet offering, Wocket, at a press conference, after which it plans to accept pre-orders. The Wocket is a smart card that allows consumers to load up to 10,000 credit cards, debit cards, loyalty cards, gift cards, as well as many other types of cards in aggregate.
NXT-ID's focus appears to be on security, and it states the Wocket will be biometrically secure and accessible only through a combination of voice, PIN, or pattern sequences and that the smart card will be zeroed out after each transaction, making it useless to another if lost or stolen.
The Wocket will be available for US$149
