Ramath-lehi

On most of Ramath-lehi, the transferring of money is entirely electronic, and does not assume a zero-sum transaction model. Cards are used to transfer money, matched with a user's profile. A rechargeable contactless card used to transfer electronic payments in online or offline systems called INSERT NAME is used everywhere except Bhim. Pendragons can recharge their cards at ATM-esque machines called INSERT NAME or at banks. Other than the card itself, watches and mobile phone covers that function as an anonymous INSERT NAME card are offered. The types of watches available include wrist watches, pocket watches, and watch key chains.

The bio-signiture of the card's owner is encrypted within it, so that if the card is stolen or lost, it cannot be used by another.

Making or recording a payment using the card can be done by holding the card against or waving it over an INSERT NAME card reader from up to a few centimeters away, even if the card is in a wallet or a purse. The pendragon then needs to place their finger onto the reader so that their bio-signiture and the one on the card can be matched up. The reader will acknowledge payment by emitting a beeping sound, and display the amount deducted and the remaining balance of the card.

Bhim

Since Bhim has to be different.
