| Magnetic source of danger |
07.12.2008 |
|
|
|
| Cardholders are increasingly experiencing the unpleasant situation in which their bank card is not accepted by an ATM, automated fuel dispenser or POS terminal. At fault is often the sensitive magnetic strip on the reverse of the debit, credit or stored-value card. If the card comes into close contact with a magnet or an electric field, there is a risk that the information on the magnetic strip needed to process payments may be deleted. In many cases, the villain of the piece turns out to be the practical magnetic clasp used in handbags and belt bags. If you avoid placing your bank card in the immediate vicinity of a magnetic field, then you can prevent the demagnetization of the card. |
