Biometrics providers and tech companies jostle for position in payments and other burgeoning markets

New opportunities for biometric payments, particularly in smart cards, continue to generate headlines and attract new players, now including Google

How will payments be made in the future? Six pivotal trends that will define future consumer payment methods are explored in a blog post by Idemia, which notes that the total value of global transactions with contactless cards will increase 300 percent between this year and 2024. Invisibility, variety, ubiquity, the use of card infrastructure, continued physical card payments and more digital identity and biometrics are expected.

Idex Biometrics and SmartMetric are both looking forward to contactless payment cards with fingerprint biometrics reaching mainstream adoption, while Fingerprint Cards will sell its module and development kit through a new online distributor for new IoT and access control applications, and smartphones continue to be launched with in-display fingerprint sensors.

Documents obtained by TechCrunch indicate that Google is planning to wade into the biometric payment card market as part of a combined physical and virtual Google Pay service. The company did not deny the allegations, but said it plans to announced details “in the coming months.”

* Så om ikke med google så med mange mulige andre for er det noe som er helt sikkert så er det at biometric finger print er kommet for å bli og den er helt i startfasen hvor den forventede veksten world wide fremover er enorm.

Mao, det er å forvente at det vil skje mye fremover hvor veksten for bransjen som helhet vil være eksplosiv og hvor IDEX nå er posisjonert både når det kommer til sertifisering og ikke minst gjennom flere nylige inngåtte partnerskap:
