The first bank to try the cards is Cyprus Bank. It is not the world's largest bank, but the company that makes the cards together with Zwipe is Gemalto - the biggest player in the industry. Gemalto produces approximately one billion payment cards during the year by companies such as Mastercard and Visa. And more banks are on their way.

"We are working with a number of banks, both in Europe and Asia and North America. There will be more banks launching pilot projects in the near future," he said.

Zwipe cards combine contactless payment with a fingerprint reader. It will make the payment fast and secure.

- You press a sensor on the card while holding it three to four centimeters across the payment terminal for one second - you've paid, says Humborstad.

From the outset there are contact-free debit cards, but they are usually blocked for payments over $ 200 to limit fraud. In principle, they can be read without the user knowing about it.

The Zwipe cards are activated only when the user's fingerprints are registered and the amount can be removed.

There have been other pilots with fingerprint reader, but these can not be read by contactless - they have to be entered in the reader. According to Humborstad, Zwipe is alone in order to deliver both contactless payment and fingerprint reader on the same card.

Humborstad says that all new payment terminals in Europe now have to be ready for contactless payment and that everything will be replaced by 2020.

"The potential is there and it is very motivating that industry experts believe that hundreds of millions of such cards will be made in a few years," he said.

According to estimates from Embedded Security News, we can expect that the number of so-called "biometric smart cards" will increase from nothing 2017-50 million this year, 200 million 2019 and 350 million by 2020. They expect about two thirds of this Volume will be credit cards, with ID cards in a good second place. .
