Fare Card
A stored-value card (SVC) or cash card is a payment card with a monetary value stored on the card itself, not in an external account maintained by a financial institution. This means no network access is required by the payment collection terminals as funds can be withdrawn and deposited straight from the card. Like cash, payment cards can be used anonymously as the person holding the card can use the funds. They are an electronic development of token coins and are typically used in low-value payment systems or where network access is difficult or expensive to implement, such as parking machines, public transport systems, and closed payment systems in locations such as ships. Stored-value cards differ from debit cards, where money is on deposit with the issuer, and credit cards which are subject to credit limits set by the issuer and are connected to accounts at financial institutions. Another difference between stored-value cards and debit and credit cards is that debit and cr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

SUBE Card
The Sistema Único de Boleto Electrónico (''Unique Electronic Ticket System'', mostly known for its acronym SUBE) is a contactless smart card system introduced in Argentina in February 2009. It is used on public transport services within the Buenos Aires metropolitan area and other Argentine cities and was promoted by the Argentine Secretary of Transportation. It is valid on a number of different travel systems across the city including Buenos Aires Underground, the Underground, Colectivo, buses and trains. One of the benefits of this change is that it has helped speed passengers onto the bus, as people no longer had to wait to be issued a printed receipt as they each enter the bus. Environmentally this helps reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen because buses don't have to stay idle as long while passengers load, helping improve air quality in the city. The electronic ticket also eliminated the need for printed receipts, thus lowering the amount of littering in the city. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

FeliCa
FeliCa is a contactless RFID smart card system from Sony in Japan, primarily used in electronic money cards. The name stands for ''Felicity Card''. First utilized in the Octopus card system in Hong Kong, the technology is used in a variety of cards also in countries such as Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Macau, the Philippines and the United States. Technology FeliCa's encryption key is dynamically generated each time mutual authentication is performed, preventing fraud such as impersonation. FeliCa is externally powered, i.e. it does not need a battery to operate. The card uses power supplied from the special FeliCa card reader when the card comes in range. When the data transfer is complete, the reader will stop the supply of power. FeliCa was proposed for ISO/IEC 14443 Type C but was rejected. However, ISO/IEC 18092 (Near Field Communication) uses some similar modulation methods. It uses Manchester coding at 212 kbit/s in the 13.56 MHz range. A proximity of 10 cen ...

Proton (bank Card)
Proton was a stored-value card payment system in Belgium from 1995 until 2014. It was introduced with the goal to replace cash primarily for small transactions around €15. For security, the card was limited to storing 125 EUR of available electronic cash (originally 5,000 BEF). The card was used for small payments without a pin code or signature, and users ran the same risk as with cash in that if the card was lost the cash value allocated to it would also be lost. The advantage to merchants was that they could accept payments without the necessity for a bank terminal to be connected to a centralised system for approving the transaction (the transaction was approved by the card itself), and the transaction was very quick. In August 1998, Proton World International was founded, a joint venture between Banksys, Visa, American Express and EGR. The goal was to promote the Proton technology worldwide. In 2001, the Australian company ERG bought the remaining shares of Proton World ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
