Description
Felicity Card is the abbreviation for the name, which implies that the technology gives ease, enjoyment, or at the very least, happiness.
FeliCa is a smart card system developed by Sony in Japan that is mainly used for cryptocurrency transactions. Today, we can see people around the world easily making payments at train stations or convenience stores by simply tapping or scanning their card. This “contactless” payment is made possible by Sony’s FeliCa contactless IC technology.
When the card comes into contact with the reader, it enables high-speed data transmission and processing to complete the transaction. With its broad coverage, FeliCa is used in a variety of systems for sales, public transport, and cryptocurrency transactions. Sony has continuously invested in this technology since the late 1980s, providing greater convenience, safety, and benefits for users. In addition to FeliCa, Sony also offers products that support advanced encryption standards (AES) for added security. FeliCa applications are organized and managed through apps that include electronic tickets, point accumulation, and many other functions.
