Fingerprints, IDEMIA to develop contactless payment cards

Thursday 23 November 2017 14:33 CET | News

Biometrics company Fingerprint Cards has announced its partnership with IDEMIA, an identity and security provider, to develop a new generation of payment cards.

The companies have combined their features and knowledge to design a miniature biometric sensor in a payment card. The sensor is the recently announced T-shape(TM) module which is part of the FPC1300-series by Fingerprints.

For merchants, there are no infrastructure changes to carry out and for customers the authentication is done via IDEMIAs F-Code biometric authentication solution. Once the fingerprint is enrolled at the bank or at home, the user only needs to place a finger on the card to validate the payment transaction.
