A system using magnetic stripe encoded swipe cards containing Internet address data and further data and whose address data strings are obfuscated. An account card data de-obfuscation sequence in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. The account card data is read from the magnetic stripe and decoded (601) to enable the swipe card reader to parse the data string. The first operation would identify the card as being account card data from the information contained in the data code identifier (602), then the next section would be the unique card specific instruction code (603) then the level of security required to send the data encoded on the swipe card over the Internet (604) followed by the account number (605) then the account holders name (606) followed by any additional data on the card holder (607) the next section would instruct the reader to hold back data until the server a connection to the server were established and the enter a PIN or other validation method when requested by the server (608) this section could be for any additional data relevant to the card (609) then an end sentinel to tell the card nor further data (610) then the data correction parity check to make sure all the data was read correctly from the swipe card by the swipe card reader (611).
