[Infostock Daily=Reporter Lee Ji-sun] Samsung Card and Master Card jointly release 'fingerprint authentication card'.
The credit card will have a square fingerprint sensor on the front of the card. The card can provide convenience and security to customers and detect fake fingerprints.
According to industry sources on the 1st, Samsung Card, Master Card and Samsung Electronics decided to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 3rd to jointly develop the 'fingerprint authentication card'.
Fingerprint authentication card is a card with a built-in fingerprint authentication IC chip that stores and reads the fingerprint of the card user.
When paying for an IC chip, the payment is made by putting your finger on the fingerprint sensor at the bottom right of the card and putting or touching the card in the terminal. There is no need to enter a six-digit pin (PIN) number that must be entered when making overseas payments.
Because only the owner of the car can authorize the payment, the risk of theft and misuse will be mitigated. Samsung Card has decided to release fingerprint authentication cards in the second half of this year.
