Fingerprint Cards supply the world´s first EMV biometric dual interface payment cards for both chip and contactless payment from Gemalto.

"Amsterdam, 4 January 2018 – Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, has been selected by Bank of Cyprus to supply the world's first EMV biometric dual interface payment card for both chip and contactless payments. Using fingerprint recognition instead of a PIN code to authenticate the cardholder, the card is compatible with existing payment terminals already installed in the country. When customers place their fingerprint on the sensor, a comparison is performed between the scanned fingerprint and the reference biometric data securely stored in the card.
The biometric sensor card is powered by the payment terminal and does not require an embedded battery; this means there is no limit from battery life nor on the number of transactions."

FINGERPRINT
SUPPLIER IN ZWIPE / GEMALTO CARD TO BANK OF CYPRUS (DIRECT)
2018-01-05 12:19
STOCKHOLM (Direct) Fingerprint Cards is a fingerprint sensor supplier in a new debit card to the Bank of Cyprus, which the Swedish biometric company's Norwegian partner Zwipe launches in a pilot version together with the Dutch banking company Gemalto.

It states the Norwegian biometric company spokesman Ado Fazlic for the news agency immediately after the company informs in a press release on the thirteenth eve of the new payment card. Gemalto published a press release on the same card on Thursday, where Zwipe stands for the energy supply and technology platform.

"We can confirm that the sensor used in this pilot comes from Fingerprint Cards," says Ado Fazlic.

[...]

"We continue to have a very strong partnership and a strong relationship with Fingerprint Cards."

A possible demonstration of the card in question at this year's Barcelonamässa, which takes place in late February, is up to Gemalto, he says.

The Fingerprint Cards share was 3.5 percent, mostly in OMXS30, at noon on Friday when the stock exchange closes at 13.00.
Note
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. .
