Oslo, Norway, 28 December 2020: IDEX Biometrics ASA, a leading provider of advanced fingerprint identification and authentication solutions, is proud to announce that its dual interface technology is included in a biometric payment card certified by China Union Pay (CUP).

Goldpac is a leading secure payment technology provider in the world and holds simultaneous certifications by CUP, Visa,  Mastercard, American Express, JCB and Diners. This is the second CUP certified biometric payment card that uses IDEX’s fingerprint sensors and biometric solutions.

The certification was conducted by the Bank Card Testing Center (BCTC) in Beijing and is the preliminary step to obtaining a Letter of Approval (LOA) from CUP.

The certifications continue the transition from the pilot phase, to commercialization and broad market adoption of biometric payment cards.”
