Clover goes where no payment has gone before.

Recently, Clover partnered with UK financial institution Nationwide Building Society to focus on the future of payments by asking the question, “What about making a card payment happen in space?” The question is only somewhat fanciful: figuring out how to make payments happen in extreme conditions — at spacelike altitudes and temperatures — offer insights into what’s possible here on Earth.

A team up to the task recently launched a Clover device into the stratosphere and made a payment happen there, for the first time ever. Read the full infographic below to follow their experiment from the ground, into near space, and back again.

So, on your next trip to space forget the cash 🙂 We got you covered!!
