Oslo, Norway – 28 February 2022 – IDEX
Biometrics ASA announces that the Swedish banking challenger Rocker
is teaming up with IDEMIA and IDEX Biometrics to launch Rocker
Touch, becoming the first in Sweden and one of the first in the
world to scale deployment of biometric cards to consumers.
“As a bank challenger, we are constantly
testing new technology to develop smarter financial services that
are easier to use and that help our customers improve their
everyday financial lives. Launching Rocker Touch is part of our
strategy to offer smart and secure payment solutions across
platforms, whether you wish to pay with your mobile, a card or with
a transfer”, said Andreas Norberg, VP Save & Spend at Rocker.
Tens of thousands of consumers around the globe have beta tested
biometric cards with a customer satisfaction of up to 95 percent.
In a global market survey 76 percent of consumers are interested in
using contactless for high value payments and 81 percent are ready
to use their fingerprints to authenticate instead of PIN code.
“Rocker leads the field among Swedish FinTechs in terms of
innovation and with Rocker Touch we are revolutionizing and
simplifying the way our customers authorize their payments. This
premium product will be offered as a new service in our
comprehensive and growing offering of retail financial services
that are easier to use, more flexible and better priced”, said
Andreas Norberg. “This groundbreaking solution meets customer needs
by bringing additional convenience and peace of mind. The biometric
payment card is certified by Visa and Mastercard and Rocker Touch
will work seamlessly with any payment terminal. We are pleased to
work with Rocker and IDEMIA to contribute to smarter and more
secure card payments and as trailblazers for this innovative
technology”, said Catharina Eklöf, Chief Commercial Officer at IDEX
Biometrics.
“At IDEMIA, we’re proud to partner with Rocker to bring
ever-more innovative solutions to shape the future of payments.
These partnerships embody our commitment to providing secured and
trusted technologies to our customers. These cards allow
authorizing payments via a fingerprint sensor embedded into the
card. Biometric data is securely stored in the chip and never
leaves the card. In addition to making our means of payment more
secure, customers would also be able to pay contactless whatever
the amount of the transaction”, said Aaron Davis, SVP Europe
Region, Financial Institutions.
