There are essential differences between IC cards and magnetic stripe cards:

(1), IC cards can store data in the chip of the card, and most of them can be encrypted. The data is stable, not easy to be copied, long in use time and storage time, not easy to be damaged by external factors, and beautiful.

(2) The magnetic stripe card is an old hand in the card industry and should be used for the longest time. Now it is one of the most used products. The most common thing now should be the bank card. However, facing the elimination, the development of modern intelligent technology makes the magnetic stripe card unable to meet the requirements in terms of safety, quality and external influence.

(3) If it is used for general membership management, it does not involve a large amount of money, and it is no problem to use a magnetic stripe card. After all, it's cheap, 2-3 cents per card. Many merchants use this kind of magnetic stripe card as membership card, but try to choose ic card for consumption, which involves a large amount of money and frequent transactions. This will save a lot of worry, and it will not involve disputes over the amount, and it will not let the card be copied by others, causing unnecessary trouble.
