Next big Fintech push: biometrics?
Paytech, actually, and it seems probable. Unlike PIN, Chip & PIN or Contactless cards, biometric cards are largely impossible to hack or steal and use without PINs. Both fingerprint and palm reading technology are competing, backed by a broad industry coalition and Amazon respectively. About a one minute read.
Comment: a clear next step in Paytech authentication, fingerprint reading could easily do away with those annoying Contactless spending limits. I suspect the real winner here will be fingerprint reading cards that can also support generic identification services, now that would be a winner!
