Renewal Of Credit Cards

　　Tipping Foil is used to enhance and protect the cards of financial institutions. A metal ribbon is attached to the card's embossed characters to help highlight the embossed characters. This produces clearer, easier-to-read alphanumeric characters. This ribbon also increases the durability of the card as it is designed to resist daily wear and tear and maintain the quality of the plastic card for years. They are like "makeup" on the surface of the card. The decal foil is basically embossed onto the raised letters during the online vertical personalization process. It's important to remember that stamped foil letters are now upside down on the foil that stamped them, just like a typewriter ribbon.

　　However, this method of creating credit/debit cards is currently being phased out. Many years ago, numbers had to be raised and embossed on the front of the card so that as it passed through the card reader, an embossed image of those numbers would appear on a slip of paper for the customer to sign. But with "microchip" card readers becoming the new payment method, the traditional magnetic stripe is about to become obsolete. The magnetic strip on the card contains all the cardholder information needed to purchase or duplicate the card. As technology improves, so do the world's best hackers, and it's becoming easier and easier for people to steal data from magnetic stripes.

　　Data stored on a magnetic stripe is stagnant - it is, and always remains the same. Instead, a chip in the card generates a unique code for each transaction, which can only be used once. If thieves were to copy the chip's information for verification during a transaction, they wouldn't be able to. No two transaction codes are duplicated, so each code becomes useless after the transaction it represents is complete.
