According to media reports, Samsung announced that it will collaborate with Mastercard to launch a biometric scanning payment card with a built-in fingerprint module.
According to reports, this technology seems to be similar to the Mastercard biometric payment card launched in 2017. However, Samsung stated that this type of card; We will adopt a new security chipset from Samsung's SystemLSI business, which integrates several key discrete chips instead of using Mastercard's current technology. The purpose of doing so is to reduce physical contact and improve security, as users' fingerprints are scanned directly from the card rather than through external POS devices, reducing the risk of fingerprint leakage. Moreover, the card is compatible with Mastercard's authentication technology as it can be used on any Mastercard chip or POS terminal.
