Payment Conversion - Advice needed

hey all!
i missed this place.

i’ve been thinking of getting a payment implant, and i have a bunch of questions regarding Payment Conversion.

my plan so far:

  1. bunq (Netherlands) as my main bank
  2. Curve card connected to my bunq card
  3. LAKS PAY Key2Pay MINI connected to my Curve card (tokenized! self-provisioned!)
  4. get LAKS PAY converted into a 27*17*0.5 mm implant via Payment Conversion

risk estimation:

  • if bunq dies, i just attach a different card to Curve
  • if Curve dies… there are no other banks to connect to LAKS PAY in NL, but more partners might appear over time, or i can use a supported card from a different country
  • if LAKS PAY dies, well, i’m fucked

seems like a nice non-expiring solution to me with relatively low risks!

questions:

  • am i missing anything? is there anything wrong with my plan?
  • are there any better options than LAKS PAY that support Curve and don’t expire as well? say, with smaller dimensions and/or better antenna range (after converted)
  • would P4 be ok? i’d love to use P5, but i saw @amal advise against this location + i already have a long-dead custom payment implant (a 38*11*2 mm rigid pcb) in there that i’m too lazy to take out xD

thanks a lot, chat :smile:

long tome, no see,
great to have you back

Personally, that’s where I would reccomend

Yeah, unfortunately, P5 is better in theory rather than in practice

Great work with the Flipper by the way

Wish i could reccomend curve. but seeing as i cant get through the registration process i cannot.

Curve EU is still alive and kicking no prob… it’s just Curve US that is having an issue launching.
