English term or phrase: magnetic card tokens
Context:

The example illustrates a consumer making a payment at the vending station and a token being generated to pass the information concerning this payment on to the meter.
To date, disposable magnetic card tokens, as well as number based tokens for keypad entry at the meter, are using the XXX standard to transfer the information.

I don't know how to translate this term : jetons de carte à puce ?

Et si c'est le cas, est-ce qu'un guichet de distributeur automatique peut produire de tels jetons pour le paiement de l'électricité?

Je ne vois pas trop de quoi il s'agit et vos suggestions seraient la bienvenue.

jetons sous forme de carte magnétique


Explanation:
strictly speaking "the token" is a set of data recorded on the magnetic strip of the disposable [meant for a one-off use] "magnetic card";

but for all practical purposes this magnetic card is "the token", as it can be used only for the purpose of being read - only once - by the home meter.

"...
At Victoria Island the installation consists of the E-Kard BEC 20 series single phase and BEC 30 series 3-phase electricity dispensers (meters). (Numeric keypads, the alternative token technology, have not yet been used in Nigeria.) The E-Kard meters use disposable ISO standard (credit card sized) magnetic card tokens, which are inserted into the meter to `top it up' with electricity credit, allowing the meter to dispense power into the home.

The card tokens are purchased from points of sale equipped with Conlog's E-Kard Validator stations, which have been strategically located in the Victoria Island area for easy access by the residents of the 2 500 homes.
