quick dump questions

[Jefe0913]

I appreciate all responses
1)what is the difference between HiCo and loco cards?
2)If I am only writing on magnetic stripes with msr x6, which one of those do I need? Does it even matter?
3) when working with dumps in the US some pos systems ask for the CH’s zip code…is there a way to obtain this info? Because the dumps usually only come with the tracks.

1) what is the difference between HiCo and loco cards?

There are two types of magnetic strip on plastic cards : HiCo and LoCo . They differ not only in service life and color, but also in charge. HiCo is a more reliable and durable option. Even with active use, it will last longer than LoCo. But it is slightly more expensive. LoCo is a cheaper magnetic strip, but under the same operating conditions, it will last less. We use cards with HiCo tape - black and cards with LoCo tape - brown.

What is the difference between LoCo and HiCo magnetic stripe?

• Magnetic strip LoCo (Low Coercitive = magnetization strength 300 oersted)
• HiCo magnetic strip (High Coercitive = magnetizing force 2750 oersted)

Plastic cards with a magnetic stripe LoCo and plastic cards with a magnetic stripe HiCo differ in the strength of the charged current that is used during encoding (magnetization). Cards with magnetic tape HiCO - has a charge force of 2750 oersted and is considered high-coercivity, and LoCo - has a charge force of 300 oersted and is considered low-coercivity.

2) If I am only writing on magnetic stripes with msr x6, which one of those do I need? Does it even matter?

With the MSR X6 Bluetooth Magnetic Swipe Card Reader Writer, you can only read and write the magnetic stripe. If you want to cash out your card at ATMs or make expensive purchases in stores that have a POS terminal, then you need a device for writing blank smart cards equipped with an EMV chip.

3) when working with dumps in the US some pos systems ask for the CH’s zip code…is there a way to obtain this info? Because the dumps usually only come with the tracks.

You can search the address including zip of the cardholder by first name, last name and country on online people search sites.
