In addition to passwords and private notes, virtually any credit, debit, membership gift, or loyalty card in a wallet today can be loaded and protected on Wocket. The included WocketCard works virtually anywhere magnetic-stripe cards are accepted today and can only be used with the owner's biometric (voice) stamp of approval or with a PIN.
