Smartcards are increasingly being used in applications where previously a magnetic stripe or barcoded card was used. There are a number of advantages of smartcards over these technologies, the most notable being the opportunity to have more data on the card itself and to store this data securely on the card.

Smartcards are used in transport applications for micropayments, Ecardz is a provider of encoded smartcards for the Cando Metro system in Christchurch.

Smartcards are also used in payment and loyalty applications and Ecardz has a number of smartcard based solutions available.

Access control is another major area where smartcards are used and Ecardz supplies both HID and Sokymat cards to Security companies in NZ.
