Evolution, of course, is not something that simply applies to life on Earth. It applies to the whole Universe! Then why do we still use our bulky traditional wallets that we have been using for centuries? Why are our Wallets still vulnerable to theft and why can our Wallets be just simply opened by anyone?
Imagine a wonderland, where you have Wallets that only YOU have access to. And a Wallet, that NEVER leaves your side.
Cashew is World's first Wallet, designed in California, with a fingerprint reader to ensure only you have access to your wallet and is always connected to your smartphone using Bluetooth to ensure your wallet is always by your side. No more misplaced cards, cash or IDs again. This product with cutting-edge technology and unparalleled design is a Smart Wallet you've been searching for.
No other wallet in the market has been able to combine three features - Biometric Finger Authentication, Bluetooth Connectivity and Crowdsource GPS. All Smart Wallets out there in the market are like traditional wallets - you can open them even if its not yours. They don't prevent the first and foremost important part of securing the wallet, which is ACCESS. We restrict the access to only you and your loved ones. Cashew not only reminds and protects you from loss of your Wallet but also protects you from Identity Theft!
From drawing and brainstorming on papers to whiteboards to making a prototype of Cashew, it has been an amazing journey to ensure our customers get the best SMART WALLET solution with the most superior quality. This is one of the nostalgic moments we had in our small office space brainstorming on the electronics for the Cashew Wallet.
"Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, and that's why it is so complicated"
We've spent endless hours working with our Product design ninjas and Material designing teams to ensure we bring a global design that not only focuses on aesthetics but also on usability and accessibility.
After filing our initial patents in April 2015 for our Smart Wallet System, we filed PCT in April 2016 which seeks protection in 148 Countries throughout the world.
It is time to UNLOCK our First Stretch Goal - RFID blocker at $60,000. All our Cashew backers will be upgraded automatically to this feature as soon as we hit our stretch goal.
We will unlock 2 other color options at $80,000. How do YOU chose the color? We will send out surveys to chose from a list of colors and the top voted colors gets picked up. After which, you will be able to decide which of the 3 colors you would want to chose.
We are a highly focused and dedicated team working hard round the clock to get this product to life.
Cashew is a product of Revol Inc, USA
Our team is obsessed with high quality for the product and is driven to over perform. We have designed Cashew and engineered it’s components to make it simple and easy to use. Our challenges could be bi-fold:
1. Manufacturing: We understand the most important part of our campaign is to fulfil our promise to you by delivering your smart wallet on time. Large scale manufacturing comes with its own challenges and we as a team are ready to take them up with full steam. Of course, we will keep you informed of our every step along the way!
2. Design: We have designed Cashew to be first of its own kind. We've worked through many issues before with unpredictable challenges and don't plan on stopping if we hit a road bump. We want to establish a good communication channel with all the updates to keep our backers informed.
The dimensions of the wallet are 11.2cm x 9.1cm x 2.8cm (l*b*h)
Cashew weighs 135 grams approx.
A specially designed polycarbonate with a tolerance for bend (similar to a traditional wallet).
It is both water resistant and scratch proof.
Cashew can hold upto 8 credit/debit/ID cards and 30 global currency.
A rechargeable battery of 3200mAh that lasts upto 9 months is used in Cashew.
The fingerprint sensor stores 20 fingerprints so not only you but also your family could access your Cashew. Also, incase the fingerprint sensor doesn't work (wet or sweaty or oily hands), you can still open the wallet using a 4 digit pin on your mobile phone app.
If your smartphone doesn't support fingerprint reader, you can always log your fingerprint on the wallet to use it.
Cashew is programmed to lock after 5 failed attempts. After which, you will need to use a 4 digit pin on the app to unlock your wallet.
The mobile app tracks the battery life and alerts you when the battery life falls below 20%. This is to ensure you have enough heads-up to charge it up. Alternatively, the LED lights start blinking when it falls below 5%. This is your second chance to charge your Cashew.
Cashew is not designed to hold coins, but you can use one of the card holders, if needed.
Without Bluetooth turned on, you can always use your Cashew as a normal wallet (The fingerprint reader will still work and prevent unauthorized access). On the flip side, if your Bluetooth is turned off, the Wallet doesn't connect with your phone and you will not receive notifications if you are leaving your wallet behind. As a best practice we advice you keep your Bluetooth turned on, for your own safety and tracking.
Yes you will still receive notifications. On another note, you can mark the area as "HOME" on your app and turn these notifications off (recommended only for areas you are confident). This way you can be rest assured you don't receive these notifications if it is at your home.
No, Cashew pairs with one phone ONLY. It will ignore all other bluetooth devices.If you get a new phone, you will need to setup your Cashew again with new phone (through security checks) on our app.
Like all other security locks/latches available to us today, our Wallets too have a certain amount of tolerance before which it could break. That said, we've designed it keeping two things in mind: If someone tries to break open the Wallet, the buzzer automatically starts ringing to prevent any further damage AND the latch inside has an aluminium lining along the length of the wallet. This ensures that the latch is hard to break open.
Thanks for writing in. To answer your question, Cashew as a measure tries to ensure you don't run out of battery in the first place (we have 2 checkpoints:The mobile app tracks the battery life and alerts you when the battery life falls below 20%. This is to ensure you have enough heads-up to charge it up. Alternatively, the LED lights start blinking when it falls below 5%. This is your second chance to charge your Cashew)
That said, just incase you do run out of juice still, the Cashew cannot be operated until charged. Time to full charge is approximately 2-3 hours but you should be able to switch on your Cashew at 5% battery with full functionality (~10 mins)
