Description: Last year, New York City asked for proposals from vendors to add a financial services “smart chip” on IDNYC Municipal Identification cards in order to give access and payment function solutions to New Yorkers who do not have access to bank accounts. Currently, over one million New Yorkers have an IDNYC card, many of whom are undocumented immigrants.
