Ict Notes

The document discusses different types of card readers used for input and output in banking systems. It describes magnetic stripe readers, contactless debit card readers, and chip and pin readers. Magnetic stripe readers read information on magnetic stripes and are used for ATMs and entry systems. Contactless debit cards allow short-range payments under a certain limit without a PIN. Chip and pin readers are more secure and are used at point-of-sale terminals in stores. The document was created and edited by Jumana Usama, a student at International Al Noor School.
