This is an NFC + chip card with transparent balance and spending history. NFC could be used to pay in public transport. The card is physically transparent as well, to make people who interact with it aware of the fact and react to it. Reaction is needed to gather feedback and work with fears. Card should be reprogrammable, it should carry visual indicator (LED or more modern technology). It would be awesome if it could show big white letters with remaining balance after swiping (programmable info).
Transparency increases trust. It might be needed for receivers of financial help. It could be a card just for food, for shelter, for clothes or for medicine. Transparency is needed for people who are audited, like grant receivers, especially for public money. It can make an audit less expensive or automatic without the need to write extensive reports and attach paper checks. It will help people to write software for conveniently coloring / labeling expense feed from mobile.
