Independent Research* Shows Nearly 70% Of Credit Card Owners Would Pay For A Safer Credit Card That Has Biometric Security Inside
NEW YORK, March 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB:SMME) – Why the SmartMetric Biometric Card is the best credit card solution for Banks and credit card issuers. Simply it is that the SmartMetric biometric card that has a built in nano fingerprint scanner has been designed from the ground up with both the bank consumer in mind. The SmartMetric biometric card works with existing credit card payments and transaction infrastructure such as global networks that carry the information between banks and card merchants as well as using existing chip ready point of sale card readers and ATM’s.
“It was very important for us to come out with a card that was easy to use for the bank customer while at the same time worked with readers that are found already installed in retailers as well as ATM’s. We strongly believe that a new technology such as a credit card with built in biometric security, must enhance the user experience while not taking away card usage options in the process. Some have tried to copy our technology but invariably all have failed in either having their card not work in most ATM’s or only work with contactless card readers. Such limitations on the cards use are a retrograde step. Having a biometric protected card that works in the store with a standard chip reader or any ATM around the world is clearly superior to the limited usage cards that are being touted in the biometric card space," said today SmartMetric’s President & CEO, Chaya Hendrick.
SmartMetric is a USA based company who has spent over a decade in research and development to create it’s leading biometric credit/debit card product. It has a team of advanced engineers in Tel Aviv, Israel and has card assembly manufacturing facilities in various parts of the world. The SmartMetric biometric card technology has been developed solely by SmartMetric, which includes component engineering, electronic, design, motherboard creation and advanced mass small component assembly. The card is powered by a rechargeable battery providing years of card life while employing a very simple biometric fingerprint registration on the card similar to what consumers have become accustomed to with fingerprint recognition smartphones.
