![Your Credit Cards Will Never Be the Same Again: Meet Card 2.0 [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/06IMAbru3QAVImMDswafDFV/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647019020.jpg)
Our editors were hardly surprised to learn yesterday that Dynamics, the startup that makes the cards, won both the first prize and the people's choice award at DEMO, the startup-centric conference held in Silicon Valley. We saw the company's founders showing off their creations in the DEMO Pavilion, and we quickly pegged the product as one of the most interesting in this year's DEMO startup crop.
Winning a startup competition is only a piece of the puzzle; we were more interested to know whether Dynamics and Card 2.0 were likely to be viable as a business and a product.
Cool gadgets are but novelties without widespread distribution. We asked for more information on the business side of things, and CEO Jeff Mullen was able to tell us that Dynamics has been working with several major banks to stealth-test the cards; bank-branded cards will be launching "soon." Mullen couldn't disclose exact dates. Still, it's good to know that forward-looking financial institutions (Bank of America, perhaps?) are already working with Card 2.0 prototypes.
Check out the demo video below, and let us know what you think of Card 2.0.
