via engadget.com

BitCoin (peer-to-peer digital currency) is planning to launch debit cards. Looks like it is going to carry a QR Code to facilitate transfer of BitCoins from one person to another.

The QR Code in the image contains:
"14sjfPJbkf8WDXcFrFmnnodrkZemh1Z1LB"

This is the 34 character BitCoin address of the example user. More about BitCoin addresses here:

The Q in QR Code stands for Quick and this is another great use case of using QR Codes to make tasks easier, quicker and safer (avoid typos) for end users!

Scan QR Code to Withdraw Cash From An ATM

"The technology does not require any new hardware on either end for it to work. NCR is using standard QR codes that can be scanned by any Android device with a camera. A user simply needs to have the NCR app installed, walk up to a supported ATM, scan a code, and withdraw money. No passwords are swapped between the phone and the ATM, so ATM password skimmers become useless."
QR Codes are all about making life easier for end users and this is a great example of that!
