Behold the card to end all cards, with a catch.

Swyp is a credit card sized metal device that stores all your debit, credit, loyalty and gift cards. It’s accepted everywhere and works with a companion app to track your purchasing behaviour.

The catch, for now, is that it’s limited to cards issued in the US.
