Abstract
A color-changing smart card may be provided. The smart card may include a first layer encasing at least a front of the smart card. The smart card may include a smart chip on the front of the smart card. The smart chip may be configured for transmitting and receiving electronic communications to and from a point of sale ('POS') device. The smart card may include microcapsules residing on a second layer of the smart card. When the microcapsules are in a rest state the first layer may have a first color. When the microcapsules are in an active state the first layer may have a second color. The microcapsules may be triggered to change the color in response to the smart chip receiving an electronic communication of a status of a transaction initiated by the smart card at the POS device.
