Technical Specifications

How Fingerprint Access Control Works

The Wisecard CR80 Metal Credit Card incorporates a capacitive fingerprint sensor embedded seamlessly into the card surface. When a transaction is initiated, the cardholder places their finger on the sensor area. The embedded secure element instantly compares the captured fingerprint against pre-registered templates stored in tamper-resistant memory. Upon successful match, the card activates its payment interface for a limited window, allowing the transaction to proceed at any standard terminal. This process takes less than 0.5 seconds with zero changes to existing payment infrastructure.

Applications & Use Cases

• Premium Banking: Offer elite clients an exclusive metal card with biometric protection, reinforcing brand prestige while eliminating card-present fraud.
• Corporate Expense Management: Issue fingerprint-secured corporate cards, ensuring only authorized personnel can initiate transactions.
• Government & Defense: Deploy biometric-secured cards for identity verification and secure procurement in sensitive environments.
• Cryptocurrency & Fintech: Provide hardware-wallet-grade security for crypto-linked payment cards, bridging digital assets and physical spending.
• Access Control Integration: Use a single card for both payment and secure building access, creating a unified enterprise credential.
