Abstract
A card information protection device and a finance service equipment having the same are provided. The card information protection device is arranged between a transverse card inlet and a longitudinal magnetic card information reader, and comprises a magnetic card transverse admission port. A magnetic card conveying channel is arranged between the magnetic card transverse admission port and the longitudinal magnetic card information reader. A magnetic card rotating mechanism is arranged in the magnetic card channel. The magnetic card rotating mechanism is used for rotating a transversely-inserted magnetic card to longitudinal direction in order to convey the magnetic card into the longitudinal magnetic card information reader, and rotating the longitudinal magnetic card returned by the longitudinal magnetic card information reader to transverse direction in order to convey the transverse magnetic card out. The problem that the whole magnetic strip of the magnetic card information reader which allows a user to plug the magnetic card in the longitudinal direction is completely scanned by a card stealer device illegally arranged in a card plug-in buckle in the process of longitudinall…
