Lower Identity Risk: Virtual currency transactions do not contain a customer's personal information,
whereas traditional payment mechanisms, such as credit
cards, require
card information and other user credentials to be shared, posing a higher risk of identity theft.
For example, renting a car through a
traditional rental agency often involves a long wait to speak to an agent even after you've made your reservation,
whereas Zipcar allows you to simply walk up to your car, scan your
card, and hop in.
