ABSTRACT:
The information recording card of the present invention comprises a postcard or a blank form equal in size thereto, and a magnetic stripe which is stuck on one surface of the postcard or the blank form so as to extend along the shorter or longer latus thereof and in which the payment data of a specified charge is written. Such a magnetic stripe-stuck card is efficiently utilized for a specified charge making/paying system. In the charge making/paying system, the payment data of the specified charge is stored in the memory unit of a host computer which is installed in, e.g., the center of a public office, and the card whose magnetic stripe has the charge payment data written therein by a magnetic tape writer is mailed to a customer. In case of the payment of the charge, a charge transfer machine reads the charge payment data written in the magnetic stripe and displays the specified payment data to the customer again, and when the customer had paid the charge in accordance with the display, the recording of the charge payment data in the magnetic stripe is renewed into "paid" data.
