PIN, by placing the card on a POS terminal or ATM. This operation will activate the card and trigger the biometric authentication capabilities of the transaction. On its own, the biometric EMV will never be discharged. It obtains the energy needed for its use at any given time from the POS terminal and does not require batteries.
It should be noted that in the event of theft the card will be completely useless without the owner's fingerprint . On the other hand, when it is not possible to use the cardholder's fingerprint (for example, when withdrawing cash), a PIN can still be used as an alternative solution.
Success!
The innovation was evaluated very positively by a wide audience. In the Cashless Pay 2021 competition for choosing the most interesting payment solution that will appear on the Polish market in 2021, the b2b email database poland biometric card of Bank Pocztowy SA took first place in the category of the most interesting payment card and second place in the category of the most interesting payment solution.
What is the best biometric payment?
Looking at the pace of development of biometric payments in recent years, it is not difficult to conclude that they are the payment method with the most future in the global market.
Biometric technology is safe for both your health and your wallet . Iris scanning has no negative impact on the eye and if a biometrically secured card is lost or stolen, the payment will not be processed.
It is also worth noting that there were already more than 44 million payment cards on the Polish market by the end of 2020, and this number is constantly increasing. This means that we are currently using almost 250 tons of plastic, which will sooner or later be thrown away. By using biometric payments, we do not have to worry about polluting the environment.
Which is the best? Probably the one that involves the least complications for the consumer. Although anyone over 18 can pay by eye, only institutional clients or small or medium-sized business owners can have a biometric card.
