What’s the difference between a proxy card and magstripe card?
The basic BroncoCard is a magstripe only card meaning that the information that the card needs to work is encoded on the magstripe on the back of the card. Whenever the card is slid through a reader, the reader takes the info on the stripe and verifies the info with the ID database and either permits or denies the requested transaction. The proxy card uses the magstripe technology, but also uses what is called RFID technology. The card contains a micro transmitter between the layers of the card and allows the user to wave the card in front of the reader instead of having to swipe it through the reader. We are using the RFID readers for door access only at this time. If you have to access certain buildings you may be required to obtain a proxy card. Bring your old card into the BroncoCard office and we’ll replace it with a proxy card free of charge.
