Tag Systems and Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints™) to bring
biometric card to market
Global card manufacturer Tag Systems (part of AUSTRIACARD
Holdings AG) has achieved Mastercard certification for its
biometric card based on Fingerprint Cards’ sensor and
STMicroelectronics STPay-Topaz-Bio solution. Banks and fintechs can
now issue Mastercard-branded biometric payment cards to enhance
convenience and security for cardholders.
Roger Carrico, Vice President, Head of Sales & Business
development, Payment & Access at Fingerprints comments: “In Tag
Systems we have a partner that likes to lead the way with high-end
payment services. Banks and fintechs can take advantage of the
opportunity to differentiate, retain and acquire customers and
drive revenues.”
Jon Neeraas, CEO at Tag Systems adds: “With this certification,
we are excited to support our partners in issuing top-of-wallet
biometric cards that utilize Fingerprints and ST latest
technologies. Together, we are creating convenient, hygienic, and
secure transactions for all purchases.”
Following a partnership agreement in 2022, the cards will
contain Fingerprints' second-generation T-Shape® (T2) sensor
module, software platform and algorithm. The sensors deliver
increased image quality and processing speed with improved power
efficiency for biometric cards. The sensor module also features
additional privacy layers and advanced encryption to further
enhance card security. This will combine with Tag Systems’
extensive payment card solutions and services, based on
STMicroelectronics STPAY-Topaz-Bio.
