Read Credit/Bank card details via NFC

Hi,

for a project we are evaluating we need to read bank/credit card data via NFC (Number, expire date, ccv/cvv) to record when people are accessing a gate and when are leaving; similar to the underground gateways that could be accessed with credit cards directly.

Could we do it with any of the ST25 NFC readers (e.g. ST25R3916B)?

As we do not have to process any payments could we get the credit card data simply using the reader functionalities or do we need any additional software components? (Beside the rfal middleware).

 

Kind Regards,


Andrea

The CCV/CVV is not stored on the card:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
