This free app was designed to work with any NFC (near-field communication) card, including those that are based on the EMV (European Mastercard) specification.

What is NFC?

NFC is a new type of wireless communication. It is based on radio frequency, and as such, it is used in the same way as WiFi and Bluetooth. But unlike those, it is designed to work with smartphone devices.

To use the app, you must hold a credit card against the back of your device to read it. The app will detect the card number and expiry date.
