Gizmo Promotions Ltd is a young, vibrant trade supplier to the UK promotional merchandise market, bringing the most modern innovative technical ideas to distributors. As the growth in contactless technology accelerates, Gizmo are leading the way in a series of high value  promotional merchandising solutions for your client base.

Contactless technology is becoming commonplace, with most major banks now issuing debit and credit cards with an integrated chip that allows rapid tap-and-go payments without the need for a PIN code. The technology can also be found in oyster cards, identity cards, other payment cards and some hotel key cards.  

Major retailers including M&S, McDonalds, The Co-Operative and The Post Office now have terminals that accept these cards with in excess of 33 Million cards issued in the UK. Transport systems using cards such as Oyster, and biometric e-passports, all use the same technology   carrying a varying combination of financial and identity based data.

So where can promotional merchandise benefit from this technology?

The answer lies in security. Amazingly, most modern smartphones have the technology to read the chips on contactless cards (including bank cards) and e-passports, in a manner which would not arouse suspicion.

We have a patented, simple, fully brandable card which when placed next to your contactless card or in your e-passport blocks accidental or fraudulent scanning attempts, making your data more secure.

With a minimum order of 50 units (credit card size) and 100 units (e-passport size), these products are fully customisable on both sides. The product is invented and made in the UK, and has been nominated for innovation awards. They truly are, innovation in promotional marketing.
