The Mastercard Biometric Card combines chip technology with biometrics to conveniently and safely
identify cardholders for card-present, point-of-sale (POS) transactions. This card leverages the newest
biometric technology, allowing it to work at EMV terminals worldwide, with no need for hardware or
software upgrades.
1. How does the card work?
When shopping and paying in-store, the Biometric Card works like any other chip card. The cardholder simply dips/taps the card
into/on a retailer’s terminal while placing their finger on the embedded sensor. The fingerprint is verified against the template
and—if the biometric match is successful and the transaction is authenticated then there is no need for the cardholder to provide
a signature or pin.
2. Is the Biometric Card the same thickness as a standard payment card?
Yes, the new card meets all payment card standards.
3. What are the terminal requirements for Merchants to accept the card?
The solution requires no changes for acquirers or merchant hardware or software as it is compatible with any type of
EMV-enabled terminal that has satisfactorily completed the Mastercard Terminal Integration Process (TIP).
