Nowadays, Rijeka City Card has over 80,000 users, it is based on RFID technology and at the same time it functions as an identification document for the realization of city rights, but also as a canvas bank card. For the realization of this project, about 800 private locations in Rijeka are equipped with RFID readers and printers to use the RFID chip on a smart card to be recorded in the IT database of the city card system. It should also be noted that PENTA has spent considerable resources in preventing any card abuse.

The city card is used for city transport payment (KD Autotrolej) and parking (Rijeka Promet), renting public bicycles (KD Autotrolej), for participation in the loyalty program of the Tower Center, as an ID card in the Rijeka City Library, for the internet sale (DinersClub ECC WebShop), trade and hospitality activities (DC ECC partners), but the plan is also to introduce them into sports facilities, swimming pools, museums and theaters of the City of Rijeka.
