Dual Credential Cards
Dual credential cards combine a contact chip (for magstripe replacement, secure key storage, or legacy reader compatibility) with a contactless RFID interface in one card body. Universities running mixed-vintage reader infrastructure use them to migrate one building at a time without forcing a campus-wide reader swap. Ideal when a single credential must serve high-security access, payment, and identity functions while remaining backwards-compatible with installed readers.
Ideal for
- Mixed-fleet reader migration (legacy + modern)
- Single credential for access and payment
- Research facilities with tiered security zones
- Replacement orders for HID iCLASS SE, MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 environments
Features
- Contact chip + 13.56 MHz contactless on one card
- AES-128 encryption on the contactless interface
- Compatible with both legacy and modern reader fleets
- Full-color custom printing with photo personalization
- Anti-tamper laminate and durable PVC construction
