SmartMetric uses a sub-micro computer it has developed that sits inside the payment card and is used with a fingerprint sensor in order to turn on the card after a user has been biometrically validated.

The SmartMetric in-card computer and fingerprint sensor raises the bar on credit card security providing a giant leap in security for the public, banks and merchants alike.

SmartMetric has developed the in-card biometric technology using its own team of electronic engineers along with its software engineers who have built the card’s internal operating system.

SmartMetric is working with a significant contract credit card manufacturer in order to produce an initial target of 50 million cards over the coming 12 to 18 months.
