The invention relates to a reader-encoder of an magnetic card, which comprises means for maintaining the support in a fixed and well determined position in contact with read-write means disposed on a carriage moving in a uniform rectilinear movement. It comprises means for orienting the read-write means with respect to the magnetic track of the support and drive means associated with two transmission belts, one elastic, the other rigid. The reader-encoder is employed for magnetic cards used in banks.
