The ID TECH UniMag II is a compact, headphone-jack magnetic stripe reader for merchants using compatible mobile devices to accept card swipes. It reads up to two tracks in either direction and supports TDES and AES encryption with DUKPT key management.
Recommended For
- Mobile merchants with a compatible phone or tablet and payment app who need to accept magnetic-stripe payments away from a fixed checkout; the reader connects through the audio jack and needs no separate battery.
- Businesses that already use a compatible mobile point-of-sale app and need a secure magstripe attachment: the UniMag II can encrypt card data before it reaches the mobile device, but the app and payment setup must support the reader.
- Developers or IT teams integrating magstripe reading into an existing mobile workflow; ID TECH provides SDKs, while the host app must expressly support the reader and handle the returned card data.
- Organizations that need to read compatible magnetic-stripe gift, loyalty, debit, or ID cards using a supported mobile device and software; it reads up to two tracks of magstripe data.
