ISO 15693 ICODE SLI-X NFC RFID Cards for Payment

DAFTags ISO 15693 ICODE SLI-X RFID cards are contactless smart cards for closed-loop payment, access control, membership, and stored-value systems. The card operates at 13.56 MHz and uses the ICODE 2 / ICODE SLI-X chip with a 64-bit unique ID.

The card is available with custom printing, numbering, magnetic stripe, signature panel, and encoding options. Reader compatibility, card craft, and encryption requirements should be confirmed before production.

Buyer Pain Points This Product Addresses

• ISO 15693 cards do not work with every NFC reader: The card uses ISO 15693, not ISO 14443 Type A. The reader, phone, or terminal must support the correct protocol before the card is specified.
• Payment use cases vary widely: This card is suitable for closed-loop systems such as campus cards, stored-value cards, membership, and access. It is not a bank card or EMV payment card and should not be presented as one.
• Memory layout matters in multi-application projects: The chip has 1024-bit storage and 32 partitions. The project owner must confirm how the partitions and keys will be used.
• Card production requires coordinated details: Printing, numbering, magnetic stripe, barcode, signature panel, and encoding must be agreed before the batch starts to avoid incompatible cards.
• Read range is application-specific: The source lists a 2.5-10 cm reading distance. Actual performance depends on the reader, antenna, card position, and environment.

What Is an ICODE SLI-X RFID Payment Card?

An ICODE SLI-X RFID payment card is a 13.56 MHz contactless card built on the ICODE 2 chip and ISO 15693 protocol. It stores a 64-bit unique ID and supports 1024-bit memory arranged in 32 partitions.

The card is used in closed-loop payment and identification projects, including campus all-in-one cards, access systems, bus stored-value systems, parking, tolls, and membership management. The system owner must confirm the reader, software, encryption, and data structure.

Key Features

• ICODE SLI-X / ICODE 2 Chip: ISO 15693 chip for compatible 13.56 MHz readers and terminals.
• 1024-Bit Storage: Provides memory for project data and identification records when the application layout is confirmed.
• 32 Memory Partitions: Supports applications that need separate data areas, subject to the system design.
• 64-Bit Unique ID: Provides each card with a unique identifier for tracking and identification.
• Custom Card Craft: Printing, numbering, magnetic stripe, signature panel, UV spot, hot foil, and anti-fake options are available.
• Encoding Support: Card encoding can be completed according to the project data and security requirements.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Enterprise all-in-one cards
• School and campus management
• Bus stored-value systems
• Highway toll and parking systems
• Community and membership management
• Access control and closed-loop payment projects

Payment and Reader Compatibility

ICODE SLI-X uses ISO 15693 and is not compatible with every NFC payment terminal. It is intended for closed-loop systems where the operator controls the reader, software, card data, and settlement process.

It is not an EMV bank card and should not be marketed as one. Before ordering, send the reader or terminal model, required protocol, encryption method, data structure, and card application details.

Card Craft and Encoding

The final card can combine printed artwork with one or more data or physical features. Confirm the artwork and encoding requirements before production.

• Offset, silkscreen, digital, or inkjet printing
• DOD, thermal, UV, or embossed numbering
• Magnetic stripe
• Signature panel
• UV spot, hot foil, silver or gold background
• Anti-fake feature
• Card encoding

Procurement Notes

Before production, confirm:

• Reader or terminal model and supported protocol
• Closed-loop payment or access system requirements
• Encryption, key management, and memory partitioning
• Read distance with the installed reader
• Printing, numbering, magnetic stripe, barcode, and encoding details
• MOQ, sample policy, card finish, thickness, and production schedule

FAQ

Can this card be used for bank payment?

No. This is an ISO 15693 ICODE SLI-X card for closed-loop systems. It is not an EMV bank card and should not be used or promoted as one.

Will it work with a standard NFC phone?

Only if the phone or application supports the required ISO 15693 workflow. Many NFC payment apps are built for different standards, so test the exact phone and app first.

How far can the card be read?

The supplier lists 2.5-10 cm. Actual distance depends on the reader power, antenna, card position, and nearby materials.

Can the card be printed and encoded?

Yes. Printing, numbering, magnetic stripe, signature panel, UV spot, hot foil, anti-fake features, and encoding can be discussed for the project.

Can the memory be partitioned for different applications?

The chip has 32 partitions, but the data layout and keys must be defined by the system owner. Confirm the plan with the reader and software supplier.

Can I request samples?

Sample availability depends on the current production schedule. Send the reader or terminal model and card requirements so the sample can be checked before a bulk order.
