we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto . xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto . i'll have another arnold palmer. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto . soon you might be able to get rid of your debit card. >> you need it to get cash from your atm, but now you can use your smartphone. alex denis has the latest in mobile technology and why it sparks excitement and worry. >> reporter: it spits out cash like any other atm. >> look at that. >> reporter: but bart johnson didn't enter a pin or put in a car. this cash -- or put in a card. this cash is from his smartphone. as they demonstrate in their youtube video you can order the withdrawal in advance from the convenience of your office or home. >> then i'll pick cardless cash. >> reporter: when you get to the atm push it again and get in. >> scan the qr code. it tells to you take your cash. and it removes the bills. i like the app because if i don't have my wallet or debit card but i have my phone on me which i always have, i get the money from the atm. >> there's security. >> reporter: the biggest security threat is skimming. that's when thieves attach a device to an atm so when you swipe your card they steal your debit number and p.i.n. >> there's no card present so skimmers can't get the card number. phone? >> that's the question security experts raise about any type of mobile device even if it has a pass code. it's not 100% secure. >> somebody wants in the phone bad enough, just takes time. >> reporter: lewis mchugh also raises concern that the app stores your banking information in the cloud. >> as we have seen with some of the recent security breaches, you know, how secure is the cloud really?
