Will you wear your credit card on your wrist? Royal bank is betting on it.
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – You’ve heard of paying retailers with the tap of a smartphone, but Royal Bank thinks shoppers are ready to take another big step: wearing payment options on their wrist.
The bank has paired with Toronto-based technology developer Bionym to test a wristband called Nymi (pronounced Nim-ee), which identifies owners through their unique heartbeat and then lets them charge purchases to their credit card.
The device looks like a watch, and will soon grace the wrists of 250 RBC clients and staff under a pilot project in Toronto that runs through February.

TORONTO – Canada appears to have used a loophole — a rather large one — to justify to the World Health Organization its decision to stop issuing visas to residents and nationals of Ebola-affected countries.
The global health agency says Canada’s new policy contravenes the spirit if not the letter of the International Health Regulations, but there is nothing the WHO can do about it.
International health law experts have said Canada’s policy, announced Oct. 31, is a violation of the International Health Regulations, known as the IHR. That treaty stipulates that in a global public health emergency, countries shouldn’t take actions that impede international trade or travel beyond what the World Health Organization has recommended.
For months the global health agency has been urging countries not to restrict travel to and from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, saying the combination of border closures and the sharp decline in flights to those countries is hindering efforts to contain the epidemic…
