Imperial Standard Credit Card
Tech Level: 13+

The Imperial Standard Credit Card (ISCC) is a portable bank teller. A micro-processor unit tracks the account, and contains information for personal identification. Made of plasteel, the card is nearly indestructible. It is nearly tamper-proof; most attempts merely blank the card and leave an identifiable trace. Identification information consists of a thumbprint actuator and a record of the owner's retina print. The latter is checked for verification on all transactions over Cr100,000.

Residents of systems of TL 13+ accept the card. In such systems, purchases are sped up through this card's use and take only a fraction of the time to do a quick retina scan in a credit register's sensor.

The Travellers' Aid Society accepts the use of the credit card in all of its facilities for cash advances or other services. It also offers, for a modest lifetime fee, a similar TAS services card.

Only millionaires can obtain the iridium edition of the card. It contains the owner's DNA code, allowing for positive identification and practically unlimited reliability of credit. Starships have been purchased on these cards!
