[Swansea Hackspace] RC522 RFID module from China...

[Emyr Morris]

The RC552 support ISO1443-A (The Mifare Classic)

All your bank cards / Oyster are 14443-B

The RC552 does not support 14443-B!

Testing here with a HTC Android NFC enabled phone - the HTC reads both
14443-A and the 14443-B cards - it obviously does not have the keys to read
the encrypted data on the debit/credit/oyster cards
