A magnetic stripe is a piece of plastic coated with ferromagnetic particles to hold a magnetic flux. In human speak: a strip of audiotape glued onto a card to hold a bit of information. Every credit card has one on the back: it's the brown part. It usually holds the stuff that's written on the card, like the account number and the expiration date.
Technology allowing the encoding of information on special labels with magnetism.
A magnetic storage medium for low-volume storage of data on badges and cards. (Related to badge reader.)
A band of magnetic material on the back of many credit cards and other cards that contains encoded information.
A stripe located on the back of a card. This stripe contains magnetically encoded cardholder account information.
a short strip of magnetic tape attached to a credit card or debit card; the magnetic stripe contains data that will tell a reading device who you are and what your account number is, etc.
a strip of magnetic tape on the back of cards like credit and debit cards
a strip of material that can be magnetized
A magnetically encoded stripe on a payment card that contains information about the cardholder’s account. The physical and magnetic characteristics of the magnetic stripe are specified in ISO Standards 7810, 7811, and 7813.
A strip of magnetic tape at the back of credit card. It contains identifying data, such as account number and cardholder name.
The magnetic tape on the back of a credit card containing encoded information regarding the cardholder
The black magnetic strip on the back of a credit card that contains customer and account information, which is read when a card is swiped through a terminal at point of sale.
Magnetic material, applied as a strip in the surface of a card, used to encode cardholder information.
Some time clocks can read a magnetic strip, allowing an employee to clock in and out. The magnetic strip, like what you have on a credit card, can be encoded with several lines of information.
A brown or black stripe on ID cards, credit cards, gift certificates and more which stores information that is read by a magnetic card reader.
The stripe that currently appears on the back of all payment cards issued by financial institutions. It contains essential customer and account information, most of which is usually also embossed on the card.
A stripe of magnetic information affixed to the back of a plastic credit or debit card. It contains customer and account information required to complete electronic financial transactions.

can be found at the back of the credit card and contains coded information about the card.
The strip of magnetic recording material on an ID card.
Mag stripe refers to the black or brown magnetic stripe on a card. The stripe is made of magnetic particles of resin. The resin particle material determines the coercivity of the stripe; the higher the coercivity, the harder it is to encode - and erase - information from the stripe. Magnetic stripes are often used in applications for access control, time and attendance, lunch programs, library cards and more.
A credit card is an example of a magnetic stripe card. In access control, one of the magnetic stripe's track is encoded. Cards with low energy encoding (Lo-coercivity) can be erased by strong magnetic fields. Hi-coercivity cards are less afflicted by this problem. Magnetic stripe cards are usually very cheap but have a reputation of quickly wearing out. Some modern reader heads barely make contact with the card and make magnetic stripe cards a durable option. If the card encoding is encrypted, it also provides a reasonable level of security. If the budget is limited, a Hi-Co magnetic stripe card with encrypted encoding and a low head resistance reader represents excellent value for money. Close Glossary Window
