Because of its data storage capacity, smart cards provide a host of new possibilities for information storage and transmission not available through other technologies. The portability of the device makes it possible for individuals to carry large amounts of important data, such as their entire medical history, in their wallet. This data can easily be accessed through a small PC peripheral or a dedicated, palm-sized reader. The card can then provide access to information in situations where on-line access to the same data might be impossible. 8, record 3, English, - smart%20card

As a Web merchant, you will pay separate merchant-bank account charges. Expect to pay setup fees of up to $200, a monthly statement fee(typically $10), a per-transaction fee(around 30 cents), and a discount rate ranging from 1% to 4% of each sale. The latter is the interest the card company charges for giving you the money up front before it debits the customer's account. A discount rate(determined by your credit history) of less than 2. 7% is considered good. Reserve fees-a portion of sales retained to cover refunds-can be as large as 15%. The bank can hold reserves for anywhere from several weeks to six months. 1, record 4, English, - reserve%20fees
