Passcard
A passcard is a small, rectangular plastic card with a magnetic stripe on one side and a barcode on the other. It is used to authorize entry into a facility or to authorize a transaction. The magnetic stripe contains data that is read by a card reader to verify the cardholder's identity. The barcode contains information that is used to identify the card and track its usage.
Passcards are used in a variety of applications, including access control, time and attendance tracking, and cashless transactions. They can be used to authorize entry into a building, to make a purchase, or to withdraw cash from an ATM.
Most passcards are issued by employers to employees for use in time and attendance tracking. The card is swiped through a card reader at the beginning and end of the workday to record the employee's arrival and departure times. Some employers also use passcards to authorize purchases made by employees.
Passcards are also used in access control systems. The cardholder's identity is verified by the card reader, and then the door is unlocked. This allows authorized personnel to enter a facility while keeping unauthorized personnel out.
Passcards are also used in cashless transactions. The card is used to authorize the purchase, and the funds are transferred from the purchaser's account to the merchant's account. This eliminates the need to carry cash or to write a check.
Passcards are a convenient and secure way to authorize entry into a facility, make a purchase, or withdraw cash. They are widely used in a variety of applications, and they are becoming increasingly popular.
