The exclusive partnership and distribution agreement between IDEMIA and ZWIPE aim to promote biometric cards as the reference for tomorrow’s contactless payments in India.

According to a recent report, 75 percent of millennials in India are comfortable using biometrics today. Biometrics is the most secured authentication as only you can be you, hence it just makes sense to have a biometric authentication for the most important password, Bank Card password (PIN).

This card with its most basic use case will ensure that the increased amount (Rs. 5,000) of contact less transactions can be carried out seamlessly in a convenient and secure way, thereby helping Banks and Fintechs build further trust with their customers.
