Magnetic Strip Transfer Guide

BEFORE YOU BEGIN :

  • This Process is not Essential.  As Magnetic Strips are slowly being phased out - very few stores accept swipe payments these days due to the fact that the Magnetic Strip data transfer machine is available for sale to the public for other uses (i.e., key cards for hotels, office buildings, schools, etc.).

  • Be sure to carry out the Magnetic Strip Data transfer first before attempting to remove your card's chip as using "Acetone" or "Heat" on your original Plastic card to remove your chip may damage your card's Magnetic Strip.
