Credit chip

Credit Chips are a secure payment media used by Union Citizens.

They are directly linked via GalNet to the Citizen's bank account and can only be activated/used when several biometric conditions are met, including brainwave patterns which are unique to all Union beings including non-carbon-based lifeforms.

Transactions are done either via verbal command or the intuitive entering of amounts manually. A credit strip only needs to touch another credit chip, strip or pay-point to complete the transaction.
