Transportation & Transit Cards

RFID & NFC Transit Solutions

Cardzgroup manufactures high-performance contactless smart cards designed specifically for public transport fare collection systems. Our transit cards utilise the latest NXP MIFARE and DESFire chip technology to deliver fast, reliable tap-and-go transactions at gates and readers.

With transaction speeds under 100 milliseconds and durability engineered for years of daily use, our transit cards are deployed in bus, rail, metro and ferry systems across multiple continents.

DESFire Technology

We are specialists in NXP MIFARE DESFire EV1, EV2 and EV3 card production. DESFire offers advanced security features including AES-128 encryption, mutual authentication and secure messaging that make it the preferred choice for modern transit systems.

Our DESFire cards support multiple applications on a single card, enabling transit operators to combine ticketing with loyalty, parking and other value-added services within a single secure credential.

Automated Fare Collection

Cardzgroup works directly with AFC system integrators and transit authorities to deliver card solutions that integrate seamlessly into automated fare collection infrastructure. We support open-loop and closed-loop ticketing architectures, as well as hybrid schemes.

Our experience covers the full project lifecycle from card specification and design through to volume production, pre-personalization and delivery to distribution points.

Multi-Modal Transport

Modern cities require transport cards that work across buses, trains, trams, ferries and bike-sharing systems. Cardzgroup manufactures multi-application cards that support interoperability between different transport modes and operators, simplifying the commuter experience with a single credential.
