Fingerprints launches T-Shape sensor and software for contactless biometric payment cards
By 8
Biometrics company Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints) today announced the launch of the second generation of its T-Shape sensor and software platform for contactless biometric payment cards. The company said that the new product is part of the FPC1300 – series and is expected to deliver increased image quality and transaction speed as well as improved power efficiency by combining extensive R&D investment with key learnings from more than 20 market pilots and commercial rollouts.
“The innovation of every aspect of this solution is really quite remarkable. It’s smaller, faster and more cost-efficient while enhancing our already market-leading convenience and security. Our team has poured years of expertise in the mobile industry, insights from our industry partners, and learnings from the many pilots into this product.”
Here we have a product that is optimized for the manufacturing process and user experience of the payments ecosystem. With this we can reach a sensor price below USD 3 in volume production, bringing the total card cost down dramatically. It is a huge step towards all of us having one of these cards in our pockets in the coming years, bringing worry-less payments to consumers around the world,” commented Michel Roig, Senior VP of Payments & Access at Fingerprints.
The new update aims to enable the production of cost-effective biometric payment cards. It will also add improved security features, including encryption as well as additional privacy layers to the storage and communication of biometric data.
Recently, Fingerprints partnered with STMicroelectronics in a bid to develop an advanced Biometric System-on-Card (BSoc) solution based on fingerprint-recognition technology for contributing to the enhancement of contactless payment-card security and convenience.
