Can a contactless bank card be cloned onto an implantable RFID?
Hey all. Something on my mind. Does anyone know what kind of chips are used in contactless bank cards? Could one be cloned onto an implantable chip?
Seems like it would be an easier route to having a magic-pay-for-my-groceries hand swipe than extracting the chip - which would destroy my bank card :(

So cloning it appears to be very unlikely. If anything you'd have to extract the chip, connect it to a new more implant-friendly receiver coil and seal that. If you are unfortunate, the chip may be able to detect the change in coil properties and refuse to work.

$350 of equipment is all it takes...Glad none of my cards are RFID...
To further give you an idea, some electronic chips are moisture sensitive, if they are exposed to uncontrolled conditions during storage they are baked dry prior to soldering. This process is done at 125°C and takes 24 to 72 hours.
@ThomasEgi i have successfully cloned my debit Visa card RFIDg/NFC tag and am able to tap with my RFID ring
How and on what sort of chip?
