What information is stored on a financial card?

Typically, a credit or debit card will use all three tracks, although only track two is needed for most non-bank applications.

Track two contains the card number, the expiry date, and some other bank-specific information.

Track one usually contains the card holder’s name, and the card number, along with other bank-specific information.

Track three is bank-specific.

The card’s PIN (Personal Identification Number) is not stored on the card.
