RFID card
Contactless access token
An RFID card is a plastic card embedded with a radio-frequency identification chip that transmits data wirelessly when brought near a reader.
These cards serve as keycards for building access, transit passes, contactless payment cards, and ID badges.
You typically tap or wave the card rather than swipe or insert it: She tapped her RFID card to enter the office.
