Infineon Technologies and Fingerprint Cards have signed an agreement to collaborate on developing a turnkey solution for a biometric payment smart card programme.
The companies said the goal of the partnership is to make biometric smart card production as simple and easy as producing a standard dual interface payment card.
Known as SECORA Pay Bio, the solution will result in a card with a sensor made by Fingerprint and Infineon’s ‘secure element’, which enables near field communication (NFC) for contactless payments.
“Our collaboration with Infineon will further push the boundaries of producing biometric payment cards with new, innovative product designs for the mass market,” said Michel Roig, president of payment & access at Fingerprints. “By combining and integrating the leading components, Fingerprints’ FPC1323 and Infineon’s SLC39B secured system-on-chip, into one system package, we will offer proven biometric performance executed in a single chip.”
He added: “This innovative and fully integrated solution will simplify, scale production, and enable worry-free payments for consumers.”
