MagneSafe uses a patented and proven card authentication technology which reliably identifies counterfeit credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, ATM cards, and ID cards at the point of swipe, before fraud occurs. Encryption scrambles the data when swiping, providing instant protection for both businesses and customers.
