IDEX Biometrics Partners with Leading Global Technology Provider to Drive Scaling of Biometric Payment Cards

IDEX Biometrics ASA is entering into an agreement with one of Europe’s largest semiconductor companies, to enable a complete solution for high performance biometric smart cards leveraging the strengths of both companies.

The joint solution combines the IDEX TrustedBio sensor solution and full biometric software stack integrated with the new partner’s industry leading secure element, card operating system and payment applets and which will be fully certified for use on all global payment networks. This highly advanced solution eliminates the need for a separate microcontroller ASIC and discrete power management circuits required by solutions currently in the market, thereby reducing costs and manufacturing complexity.
