![]() We wanted a card with just two components.”įor Idex, Graziani says the collaboration informed the entire development process. “Because when we look at the previous generation of cards there were lots of components inside, which meant that they were expensive, they were difficult to manufacture, and they were not very reliable, let’s face it, because there were too many components. “In terms of the secure element and all the software stack that goes on top of it to make a biometric card, I think Idemia at first decided if we really want this technology to take off, we needed a drastic integration of components,” he recalls. Meilland credits close collaboration for the major gains made in addressing the technical challenges behind a completely contactless biometric payment card. The final hurdles on the supply side have been cleared, Meilland says, as shown by the certifications to both Mastercard and Visa schemes, as well as manufacturing validation. ![]() FPC, he says, is in all 6 production launches by banks, along with 25 pilots as of January. Idemia’s second-generation F.CODE card, featuring Idex’ TrustedBio biometric-system-on-chip, is being piloted by banks and fintechs, with further partnerships announced regularly.Ĭhristian Fredrikson told Biometric Update in an interview earlier this year that hundreds of thousands of fingerprint biometric sensors have already been delivered for the payments industry. “But it’s quite a complex system, it has strong processing power, it has to harvest energy from the POS terminal, everything has to work seamlessly, and to make that whole system together, you really need to partner very early on.” “In the technology world with a system as complex as the biometric card is, the goal is to make it appear totally simple and seamless – you tap and go,” Graziani explains.
