Credit Card Reader NFC (EMV)

About this app

This app was designed to allow users to read the public data stored on their NFC-compliant EMV banking cards, such as credit cards. EMV (Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) is a global standard for interbank transactions that utilizes microchips to store and protect data. In order to use this app, your card must be NFC (Near Field Communication) compliant, which means it is equipped with a microchip that allows it to communicate with NFC-enabled devices such as this app.

It is important to note that some newer EMV cards may have had certain information, such as the holder's name and transaction history, removed in order to protect the cardholder's privacy. This app is not a payment app and does not facilitate financial transactions. It does, however, contain in-app purchases that can be used to make donations.

For security purposes, this app does not access the internet and requires the user to confirm that they are the owner of the credit card before allowing access to the application. By default, the credit card number is masked to further protect the user's personal information.

This app is compatible with a wide range of EMV NFC cards, including those issued by Visa, American Express, and MasterCard, as well as the LINK (UK) ATM network, Saudi Payments Network (Saudi Arabia), Interac (Canada), and Discover Card. Many other EMV cards are also supported. If you have a card that meets the NFC compliance standards and is not listed above, it is likely that this app will be able to read its public data. This app is a useful tool for those who want to access and view the public data stored on their NFC-compliant EMV banking cards without the need for an internet connection.

Ratings and reviews

Did what I needed; confirm Nfc was working on my phone and that a banking card with a faulty "chip" interface was readable via connectless. It also helped me understand how precise I needed to place a card to be read and for how long.

Was a great app! New version is a disappointment — it used to be possible to view the card number of Apple Pay cards from iPhones (which don't show last-4); now it's no longer an option, because you have to confirm the last 4 digits in this app first — which means you have to use Apple Pay at a vendor to get a receipt with the last 4, before you can use this app. Very disappointing to have such a downgrade in functionality in the latest version.

Same as all the others - became useles for me when does not show full card number. Demonstration to BFU how dangerous NFC is is no more possible.
