April 2018 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Fingerprint Cards (Fingerprints™) announces its collaboration with IDEMIA on Japan’s
first biometric payment card trial.
Utilizing Fingerprints’ sensor technology, the pilot will run on
Japan’s payment network, taking the region one step closer to commercial
roll-out of biometric payment cards.
IDEMIA’s F.Code solution, replaces PIN or signature authentication with a
fingerprint. This delivers greater security without impacting the frictionless
payment experience of contactless cards.
The trial is using a FPC1300-series sensor, has ultra-low power consumption,
superior biometric performance, a key requirement for handling both contact and
contactless transactions.
