 Hey, it's Sam Sheffer with The Verge, and I'm back with yet another mobile payment system. This one is called Loop Pay. So this is Loop Pay. It is a payment system for your iPhone, and you'll notice that it is a full case, and the Loop Pay system is actually this card that slides out of here. And the way it works is you scan your credit cards using the app, and all of your information lives in here. You can either press the button on the back of Loop Pay and press it against a credit card reader and it emits the magnetic signal, or you can use the iPhone app and just tap a credit card on your phone and it also emits a signal. So visually, the Loop Pay card case is a shiny, slimy, slippery plastic case that holds a few business cards in the back here. There's actually not much room for a bunch of them, maybe four or five, and then Loop Pay sort of just slips in and out of here. So Loop Pay is a unique approach to the mobile payment systems, because this is accepted anywhere that you could swipe a credit card, versus something like Apple Pay or Google Wallet, which rely on NFC. But you'll notice that Loop Pay effectively doubles the thickness of your iPhone 5 or 5S, which if you're trying to slim down and leave your wallet at home, this isn't really helping consolidate. But it was recently reported that Samsung might be in talks with Loop Pay to embed this technology in smartphones, and that might happen as soon as next year. So overall, I think paying with Loop Pay feels really awesome. Tapping your phone and holding your phone up next to a credit card reader definitely feels something like the future.
