Method and system for remote banking with a multi-memory technology smart card

摘要

A method and system for remote banking with a multi-memory technology smart card makes use of a smart card having a transactional type memory, such as an integrated circuit chip module memory, for example, for daily merchant type transactions, and a historical type memory, such as an optical stripe memory to store more voluminous information, such as account records, medical and personal information for a customer. For daily transactions, data representing, for example, monetary value is stored in the transactional memory and used for merchant transactions, and the merchant transactions are recorded in the transactional memory. From time to time, the merchant transaction records are transferred to the historical memory. Likewise, data representing monetary value can be stored in the historical memory, and from time to time, such data can be transferred to the transactional memory.
