Mastercard has teamed up with IDEMIA and MatchMove on their first pilot in Asia of a biometric card that uses a fingerprint to authorize transactions at in-store payment terminals.

Developed by IDEMIA in accordance with Mastercard's technical and design specifications, F.CODE Easy ensures privacy and security by storing all biometric credentials on the card chip rather than a central database.

The pilot will feature employees of Mastercard, IDEMIA and MatchMove using the cards for transactions and live demonstrations for customers.

"As people make a permanent move to contactless transactions, the biometric card promises more choice and greater security for consumers," said Matthew Driver, Executive Vice President, Services, Asia Pacific, Mastercard.

"We are excited to partner with IDEMIA and Mastercard to pioneer cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to make safe and secure payments," said Amar Abrol, Chief Commercial Officer at MatchMove.
