ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for verifying the status of an account such as a credit card account or that the holder of a card is the party indicated by information recorded on the card. In one form, information is recorded on a magnetic recording strip of a card which is automatically read when a magnetic pick-up is caused to scan the recording. The signals generated are then fed to a comparator which compares same with information reproduced from a memory or signals generated in scanning a characteristic of the card holder such as a voice or photoelectrically generated signals scanning a finger print or other physical characteristic of the holder. Special card scanning means is also provided.
