*[[APACS]] has defined a subset of the CAP specification for use by banks in the United Kingdom.

*[[Barclays Bank]] began issuing CAP readers (which they call "[[PINsentry]]") to selected online-banking customers in the United Kingdom in 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barclays.co.uk/pinsentry/ | title=Barclays PINsentry}}</ref><ref>[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/09/barclays_launches_cardreaders/ Barclays to launch two-factor authentication], The Register, 2006-08-09.</ref> The 2008 version of the PINsentry device is powered by four [[LR44]] [[button cell]] batteries, which the manual claims will last from five to seven years. The first PINsentry readers used recorded audio to guide the user when using the device, whereas the devices issued in 2008 simply use on-screen instructions.
