What is the difference between ATM card and debit card and credit ...

Why did the Indian government updated the ATM cards? When we go to malls or anywhere else, we use our ATM cards mostly to swipe and purchase. But the process of billing takes a lot of time like we have to enter the PIN and then amount, it takes so much of time to do so. That's why the ATM cards have been updated and got the WIFI symbol, which is one of its reasons.

And it saves a lot of time, the other advantage of this card. Hence, the transaction completes effortlessly within seconds.

These cards functions by the RFID technology, a method of data collection that involves automatically identifying  objects through low power radio waves. When we insert the ATM card in the magnetic stripe card reader ( swiping machine) then the machine catches the frequency of the WIFI symbol card and automatically generates the PIN, this is the technology used in the WIFI symboled cards.
