What is the purpose of a fingerprint reader?
A scanner is used to identify a person’s fingerprint for security purposes. After a sample is taken, access to a computer or other system is granted if the fingerprint matches the stored sample. Laptops increasingly have built-in readers.
What are the benefits of biometric cards?
Mastercard. The Mastercard Biometric Card combines chip technology with fingerprints to conveniently and safely verify the cardholder’s identity for in-store purchases. An embedded sensor that’s powered by the chip authenticates identity through a fingerprint and can be used at EMV terminals worldwide
Biometric technology is already a huge success in the mobile phone market where the majority of smartphones today are equipped with this fail-safe system. Many consumers are now adopting biometric recognition systems in preference to the traditional PIN (Personal Identification Number), maximizing both convenience and security. Biometric technology is now gaining momentum in the payment card industry in the form of advanced on-card fingerprint sensing systems. So how will consumers benefit from these biometric-enabled payment cards? Let’s find out.
Highly secure
Standard four-digit PINs are often considered insecure, whereas biometric fingerprint technology is widely recognized as being highly secure. The embedded enterprise-level biometric algorithms are able to exceed 99.99 percent authentication accuracy.
Simple-to-use
The cardholder just needs to touch the built-in fingerprint sensor while presenting the card to the payment terminal. Once there is a successful biometric match, the payment is authorized without needing to enter a PIN.
Simple-to-set-up
Biometric-enabled payment cards are also easy to set up –this can be done from your own home and there is no need to visit a bank. Yes, it’s that simple!
Win-win situation
Both consumers and businesses will reap their share of benefits with contactless biometric payment cards. The banks can further curb payment card fraud and instill trust amongst customers while retail businesses can experience a boost in sales as customers will make more frequent transactions and spend less time making payments.
Time-saving
Entering a PIN can take a while but biometric authorization is a seamless and near-instant process. Biometric identification not only expedites the transaction but also guarantees the peace of mind that the consumer is looking for every time they use their payment card.
Private and uniquely personal
The biometric authentication process is uniquely personal and exclusive to the user. It’s almost impossible to simulate a person’s unique fingerprint. Privacy is protected too by ensuring the user’s biometric credentials never leave the card.
Robust and environmentally friendly
Biometric payment cards are just as thin, small, and bendable as traditional cards. Since the biometric system consumes very low power, no battery is needed for the card to work.
More convenient transactions
Users can make secure, convenient payments anywhere in the world. Adoption will encourage higher-value contactless purchases at retail stores leading to increased profitability for brick-and-mortar businesses.
