This will lead to more and more stringent 'security' , for the 'good of the people'. These things are never about what they claim to promote.

So, new card security technology scares people?
Your phone is capable of scanning visable card codes. Try Google lens. It can read and search all those pesky strips of lines and those squares. It can also do visual searches for things.
The hand is the worst place possible for an id chip. You use your hands for doing things. They are the most injured part of your body. The most exposed to heat, cold, electric shock, chemicals, radiation, magnetic fields, erc... Chips there will not last long because of this.
The palm is not an area I would scan for id as it changes with injury, temperature, humidity, cleanliness, etc.. Some designer just thought it was a new idea. And it is easily defeated by showing it a picture of the palm it wants to see. Just like a fingerprint scanner can.
That just looks like some over designed box with too many security options.

When did the Virginia get in the banking game? I lived in Virginia for 31 years and was just there earlier today for groceries. In all that time I don't recall a State Bank of Virginia and I don't recall the state having a controlling share in my bank. So how did Virginia force a private bank to install these new ATMs?
Disclaimer: I didn't click on the link in the OP. From the sound of things though it's pretty innocuous.

Where is the proof of anything the person with an obvious agenda claims in that video?
What is their knowledge base or what are their credenetials why anyone should take their opinion seriously.
I mean the minute he goes to "they sort of look like a building from Wu Han " tells you how the video is going.
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Paper money is starting to feel like a joke.
This one is worth this many pennies because it says so on the printer paper. A paper dollar is just a representation of the actual money which is digital and stored electronically.
