After sharing with you last time "Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay all rely on it, a thing called EMVco", this time I saw some good things related to credit cards.

When credit cards first appeared in front of Mr. Shi, they appeared in the form of tapes. Later, chips were added for security. Recently, Mobile Payment has a GPS authentication method, but this is not yet a credit card. Eventually, it will also add a “fingerprint recognition” function similar to that of a mobile phone.

Precise Biometrics from Sweden is developing a credit card with "fingerprint recognition" function. According to the introduction, the thickness of this credit card is not much different from that of current credit cards. There is a "fingerprint recognition" position in the lower right corner of the credit card. After the card owner identifies the fingerprint at this position, the payment can be made after confirmation by the card issuing company.

According to Chen Zhaoyi, the basic process of using this fingerprint credit card is: after the credit card is inserted into a payment terminal that can read Jingyuan, the user will be asked to provide fingerprints to verify the identity. After the sensor reads the user's fingerprint, it sends the fingerprint data to the chip of the bank card for comparison, determines the user's identity, and finally chooses to complete or terminate the payment activity.

It is worth noting that this new feature does not require the store to replace any card swiping machines, that is, as long as the credit card company and card issuing bank are willing It can be used after replacement. Of course, this also involves issues such as the preservation of private data, but at least the threshold outside of law and security is much smaller than imagined.

What about the disadvantages? Of course, because it needs to recognize fingerprints, it needs something that electronic products cannot lack - power. This "fingerprint recognition" credit card can be used 200 times per charge.

Charging uses a dedicated charger or charging for customers when reading, so if you want to use it widely, the merchant card machines mentioned above that do not need to be replaced still need to be replaced. reason? Just to recharge.
