What?
Echo is the last payment card you'll ever carry. It's your debit, credit, loyalty, and prepaid cards - even your student ID - all combined into a single, elegantly crafted card. Echo has a miniaturized computer inside of it that mimics ordinary cards and syncs with your mobile phone. Our mobile app enables you to convert Echo into the card of your choice with the tap of your phone. Once you select a card for echo to mimic, you can swipe Echo as you would any other card.
Why?

Echo fits neatly into a money clip.

Plastic cards are dull.
Echo looks great!
