A partnership between Fulcrum Biometrics and Redsis Corporation, announced today, will have the two companies providing biometric banking solutions to South American customers. The two companies will be distributing devices from Futronic Technology designed to capture and store fingerprint biometrics for fraud prevention purposes.
The distributed system features Futronic FS88 fingerprint scanners. The biometric devices are FIPS 201 and PIV certified, and have been chosen for this deployment for their ruggedness and ability to function in various environmental conditions. This last aspect is made possible through the FS88’s infrared illumination feature which allows for scanning of wet and problematic fingers.
Perhaps the most important feature that the FS88 brings to the South American deployment is it’s live-finger detection feature. Anti-spoofing measures that can detect false fingers made from silicone or other materials (the Futronic website cites play-doh as a material that won’t fool the FS88) are an absolute must have as fingerprint biometrics become a more common method of controlling financial access.
