FREMONT, Calif.—Millennials have a new debit card, and it’s a “Hoot.”
The Hoot debit card comes with personal touches such as customized photos and AI-driven features to help them save more, reported Fortune.
That’s the vision behind the new card Fortune said is intended to “shake up the world of payment cards.”
The Hoot Bank Smart Debit Card, offered by startup Qvivr, contains a small display screen that is tethered by Bluetooth to the owner's smartphone and a companion app. This pairing of the card and the phone allows the user to transpose a picture of themselves, or their dog or anything else, onto the card. The Hoot card also contains a physical button that, when pressed, will reveal the user's bank balance, spending habits and financial tips on the display screen, Fortune explained.
“Taken together, the Hoot card creates the same sort of personalization options that Millennials have long craved with apps and smartphones,” said Fortune, adding, “whether it will catch on is another question.”
