FPC-Infineon Collaboration Delivers New Fingerprint-scanning Card Solution

Fingerprint Cards and Infineon Technologies have launched a joint biometric payment card solution, dubbed “Secora Pay Bio”. The card complies with Visa and Mastercard specifications, and integrates Infineon’s SLC39B Secure Element with Fingerprints’ FPC1323 sensor.

The solution is designed to simplify the manufacturing process for biometric smart cards, making it easier for card manufacturers to produce these advanced payment cards.

Fingerprint Cards and Infineon Technologies have been collaborating on biometric payment card solutions for several years, with their partnership dating back to at least 2020. In September 2021, FPC’s Michel Roig told Identity Week that his firm was “drawing on years of experience and collaboration with Infineon” when discussing a technological achievement.

The companies announced a “joint development and commercialization agreement” concerning the Secora Pay Bio solution in November of 2022, and Fingerprint Cards achieved Premium Partner status in Infineon’s partner ecosystem the following year, highlighting the deepening relationship between the two companies.

The companies say that Secora Pay Bio is the first biometric payment card to support in-field enrollment at the point of sale, enabling cardholders to activate their biometric cards without extra devices. What’s more, the fingerprint template improves with each transaction, enhancing the user experience over time.

“As we shift away from PINs and passwords, our collaboration with Infineon Technologies marks a significant step as we empower consumers with the convenience of biometric security in their everyday lives,” said Fingerprints CEO Adam Philpott. “The solution enables card manufacturers to use already existing card manufacturing equipment to produce biometric payment cards and enables scalable and efficient volume production.”
