The participants will use CEPS-based versions of existing e-purse Smart Cards - Belgian Proton cards, Dutch Chipknip cards and Spanish Visa Cash cards loaded with euros. Cardholders will be able to load their cards and to make purchases both in their "home" country and in the two "foreign" countries. Gemplus, Sun Microsystems and Visa International announced a three dollar Open Platform multi- application Smart Card called GemXpresso Lite, which is compliant with Open Platform 2.0 and Java Card 2.1 specifications, for Visa member banks.

GemXpresso Lite is based on a 16K EEPROM/48K ROM chip.
