Card Types |
|
|
|
|
| Contact Card |
Activated when it is inserted into an adaptable
interface device, touching contact points.
High security is required. |
|
| Contactless Card |
Electronic combinations of coils power the
chip within the card,
and radio communication takes place using an antenna.
Transit cards are typical contactless cards. |
|
| Combi Card |
Features of contact and contactless cards
can be shared within a single card,
integrating heterogeneous applications. |
|
| Contact Card |
Features of contact and contactless cards
co-exist, physically independently,
within a single card. Less efficient than a Combi card. |
