Biometric payment cards with an integrated fingerprint sensor make contactless payments more convenient, more secure and hygienic.

Infineon Technologies and Fingerprint Cards have joined forces to enable mass deployment of this emerging solution.

The world leaders for security controller in contactless payment and for fingerprint sensors, including their related software, aim to provide card makers with biometric semiconductor solutions which make integration particularly cost-efficient and scalable.

"Collaboration is key in the payment ecosystem, in which Infineon is a leading player. Together we will produce an optimized solution that will make it easier for card manufacturers to integrate biometrics into future generations of contactless payment cards, ultimately putting these cards into the hands of consumers around the world to enable a worry-free payment experience," says Michel Roig, SVP Business Line Payments & Access at Fingerprints.

Fingerprints' sensor modules, combined with Infineon's 40 nm high-performance and energy-efficient security controllers based on the 32-bit ARM SecurCore, fully support the requirements of biometric payment cards.
