Magnetic Strip card Reader

Magnetic Strips are thin strips of magnetic tape found at the back of most credit or debit cards or on key cards of some hotels.

When the card is used data is read and processed and information is displayed on the screen for example “You are most Welcome Edith Khainza”.

Almost everyone is using these cards each and everyday, if you have a bank card just check for the black strip, but don’t scratch it.
The magnetic strips are used to withdraw money from cash dispenser machines popularly known as the ATM.

Most magnetic strips are read-only, and are used merely to identify the cardholder. However, some applications both read from and write to the magnetic strip.
