Curve is the most secure and private way to pay in-store or offline, because none of your actual card or account details are ever exposed to third parties, not even in the processing of transactions. It's also the only mobile wallet that allows you to lock and unlock your whole wallet in one tap. For example, if you think you've lost your Curve card, you can lock your wallet in the app and unlock it again once your card is found. If you discover your Curve card is lost for good, no one can spend from it once your wallet is locked. Not even you. So you simply have to order one new card rather than cancelling and re-ordering every card individually in your wallet.
