IDEX Biometrics (IDEX ASA), the leading provider of advanced fingerprint identification and authentication solutions, is pleased to announce that it is in collaboration with Chutian Dragon Co., Ltd (“Chutian Dragon”) and PAX Technology Limited (“PAX”) to accelerate the adoption of biometric payment cards in Asia.
In late 2018 IDEX announced a collaboration with Chutian Dragon, one of Asia’s largest smart card manufacturers. Chutian Dragon and IDEX are now collaborating with PAX, a leading international supplier of secure electronic payment terminal hardware and transactional software services to run real-life EMV compliant transactions of biometric smart cards using IDEX’s SmartFinger® IDX 3200 dual-interface sensor.
Electronic payments have transformed the lives of end users and now with the additional security and convenience that biometrics brings, PAX is actively working alongside Chutian Dragon and IDEX to accelerate this next generation of payment transactions by providing EMV compliant point-of-sale (POS) as a key component for biometric transactions.
Stan Swearingen, CEO of IDEX Biometrics commented: “The biometric smart card market is gathering momentum and to accelerate their mass adoption it is important to ensure interoperability between all elements of the transaction value chain. This is a clear example of IDEX actively driving the creation of this huge potential market.”
Susan Su, CEO of Chutian Dragon adds: “We began our partnership with IDEX last year and now we are delighted to be able to showcase the value of our biometric smart cards with IDEX’s latest dual-interface sensor in realistic payment transactions. This is a significant step forward in bringing biometric payment cards to Asia.
