Biometric Technology Today
Michelle van Schalkwyk, head of brand at Pick n Pay, pays for her shopping using her fingerprint to authenticate the transaction during the first global trial of the Mastercard biometric card in South Africa. Mastercard has unveiled its next generation biometric card, combining chip technology with fingerprint recognition to verify the cardholder’s identity for in-store purchases. South Africa is the first market to test the technology, with two separate trials recently concluded with Pick n Pay, a leading supermarket retailer, and Absa Bank, a subsidiary of Barclays Africa. The new card builds on fingerprint scanning technology used for mobile payments and can be used at EMV terminals worldwide. IDEX has revealed that its off-chip fingerprint sensor is featured in the Mastercard card.

Market researchers forecast significant growth for global biometrics
R
esearchers have forecast significant growth for biometrics across Europe, worldwide and in mobile and wearable biometrics sectors. Mobile and wearable biometric authentication will exceed $6.2bn by 2022, according to Goode Intelligence market research. In its latest report, ‘Mobile & Wearable Biometric Authentication Market Analysis and Forecasts 2017-2022 (third edition)’, Goode Intelligence also predicts that by 2022 over 3.3bn users will be benefiting from biometric authentication. Alan Goode, author of the report and founder of Goode Intelligence sys, “The market is still
evolving with a number of different models that developers and service providers can adopt to provide convenient friction-free user authentication. It is part of the wider “password replacement” movement that includes other two-factor (2FA) and multi-factor authentication technologies.” The European Biometric market (including systems sales, aftersales service and upgrades) is forecast to grow by 92% in the next five years, according to Research and Markets’ ‘Biometric Technologies & Market – Focus on Europe 2017-2022’ report. Meanwhile the global biometrics technology market is expected to reach $59.31bn by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research. It forecasts the increasing use of biometrics technology in consumer electronics, to enhance customer experiences, is expected to drive the market over the coming years. Government and defence services are further expected to witness high growth over the forecast period. Biometric technology can be used in banking and finance to increase efficiency and prevent fraud enabling the industry to grow at a significant rate over the next nine years. Further key findings from the study suggest that transport/logistics accounted for over 27% of the biometrics technology market in 2015, while non-AFIS accounted for over 38% of industry revenue in that year.

Jamaica authorities consider biometric tech to ID pensioners
T
he Accountant General’s Department (AGD) in Jamaica is looking to implement biometrics as a means of identifying pensioners, possibly this year. Currently a life certificate is posted out to pensioners who then have to take it to the Justice of the Peace (JP), or another certifier who will certify that they are still alive before they then return it to the authorities The AGD sends a life certificate to each pensioner every three months to be signed, certified or notarised and returned by the end of the following month. The hope is that the new system will speed that process significantly.
