Though the economy is continuing through its peaks and valleys, it has stabilized to a degree, and we find ourselves still needing credit to some extent. It is true that banks and others were guilty of negligence and over farming their fields, but not all was lost. As their fields became closed off to the public and credit became harder and harder to come by, others picked up the slack left by typical credit card providers, including banks offering first time credit cards to college students via student credit card offers. StudentCreditCards.com provides helpful credit card blog to learn the basics of college student credit cards and a comparison for research. Debit cards and prepaid credit cards have also become popular as people tighten their pocket books, and our bank accounts inch closer and closer to solvency and normalcy. Many of the big credit companies are now offering pre-paid credit cards in lieu of the credit cards with high interest rates and dangerously high limits. These were gaining ground until 2011, when the combined uproar of too-big-to-fail, other bailouts and increased banking fees caused a seismic shift in the credit card fault-line.

The resulting backlash not only drove Americans en masse to credit unions and a nearly depression era style run on banks, it also opened the door for other companies to fill this second void in spending in credit. While others have turned to comparing cd rates, The New York Times recently reported that our old friends at Wal-Mart have stuck their plows into the soft earth of consumer credit with their own line of pre-paid debit cards. Shop for groceries, $2.00 socks, and pick yourself up a pre-paid debit card right next to the powdered milk. Wal-Mart is already the destination of choice for millions of Americans, and they already offer check-cashing services among other services such as bill-pay and utility deposits, so why not offer other services for more reasonable rates.

Another potential winner in the credit and loans sweepstakes is the list of credit unions in the United States. One of the advantages credit unions hold is that they are not for profit, and do not instantly try to turn debt into cash and sell it off to the highest bidder, and offer more reasonable rates. Another advantage is that you are more likely to receive a positive rating from them for paying down your credit than with a larger institution. You can walk in to many credit unions, and they will know you by name and be familiar with your account most likely as well.

In summary, the old guard is closely guarding the fields that were burned and left with scarce resources. This is not entirely bad news or even bad news at all. With more regulation placed on the banking and credit industry, they are forced to become more transparent with their fees and movements, and in turn, the public is more able to decide proper action and has recourse. This has forced the banks to come right out and say, “We’re charging you more for this and this is why” and you, Joe consumer is now able to take your money elsewhere. The public’s willingness to do so has opened opportunities for growth with other companies such as *gasp* Wal-Mart, and local, smaller credit unions. So rejoice Joe Consumer, there are other fields to pick fruit from, and the landscape is ripe for your picking.

That concludes this edition. Next edition of this carnival will be hosted here on August 24, 2008.

1. The One Time Password (OTP) DisplayCard: This card promises to eliminate the chances for credit card fraud in online transactions. It boasts a panel, embedded in the card, that generates a one-time number password when the card owner touches a button. Online transactions are complete only with the entry of this number, which means that the buyer must be in possession of the card at the time of the purchase.

2. The Chase Blink Card: This card comes with an embedded microchip and antenna called the Blink icon. It allows you to make payments in the blink of an eye and claims to reduce waiting times by as much as 30 percent. Instead of swiping, you just hold your card up the reader to complete your transaction. What’s the catch? It?s usable only with certain merchants that have the special reader. MasterCard’s PayPass technology also works on the same principle.
 

3. Amex Blue: The American Express Blue has looks and smarts. Its embedded smart chip allows you to store information related to all of your debit and credit cards, store cash in your account, plus conduct secure transactions on the Internet using a reader. The reader connects to your PC and ensures that you are in possession of the card and a PIN number before you are able to make payments online. It also fills out online forms automatically, records your online purchase history, remembers multiple shipping addresses and stores ID and passwords.
 

4. iCache: Too many credit cards clogging up your wallet? Then this is the gadget for you. The iCache rolls all of your credit cards into one small device. To do this, the device holds magnetic strip signatures from every credit card. The iCache sounds like a prime target for thieves, but don’t worry: it unlocks only with your fingerprint, so there?s no fear of theft.

5. Beepcard?s Secure Card: How would you like a credit card that obeys only the sound of your voice? Beepcard’s Secure Card comes with voice-activated technology that allows transactions only when your voice and password match pre-recorded patterns. If you?re making a transaction on the phone or the Internet, all you have to do is hold your card to the speaker and say your password.

6. The Multifunctional Credit Card All in One: Although not yet a reality, the Multifunctional Credit Card All in One will be an amazing gadget when it comes to fruition. This tool promises to take over the functions of all of your credit and debit cards, remote controls, keys, GPS and video phone. A biometric device, this card is activated using your fingerprint.

7. C?ALL Future Phone: The C’ALL Future Phone takes all of the paraphernalia you keep in your pockets and stores it in one smart gizmo. Besides serving as a music player and camera, it stores all of your credit cards on one magnetic strip that adjusts according to the card you choose. It also acts as both a Mac and PC portable computer, replaces your car and home keys and functions as a GPS, too.
 

8. RFID-enabled Credit Cards: RFID is rapidly making its way into every aspect of our lives and our credit cards are no exception. Mobile phone giant Nokia is one-upping MasterCard’s PayPass and Chase’s Blink Card by investigating technology that would replace credit cards with an RFID cell phone. This cell phone would take care of all of your payments with just a wave of your hand. All you have to do is be within range of the RFID reader.
 

9. Fraud Protection Technology: Financial Systems Innovation and Skechers, U.S.A. Inc. have teamed up to develop new technology that, when embedded into credit cards, will help protect against fraud. Card readers generate a unique number for every transaction processed within the system. Using this technology, information relating to the cardholder?s identity can also be omitted from the printed receipt. 

10. Holographic Credit Cards: There are two variations of this technology in the pipeline: one based on user fingerprints and the other using a new kind of material. A holograph is created to form a unique pattern that shows up when a laser beam is focused on the card. The card has an optical filter that takes a fingerprint and matches it against one that is already registered with the database. Transactions will only be completed when the fingerprints match. The other technology, developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), uses a translucent material that is embedded in the card to hold a unique identifier that is almost impossible to copy or tamper with. A laser beam passes through to generate a unique identifier. A small alteration of the beam will generate a totally new pattern, which means that one tag will generate nearly 10 billion unique identifiers.
