The United States will leap-frog over chip-and-signature EMV cards quickly and move into biometrics and other security measures, a recent panel discussion on payment technology has heard.
Biometrics is going to play a bigger role in payments going forward because it can be more convenient and it can be a stronger form of verification.
Biometric technology has been a major topic in the payment industry. In another panel held during the recently concluded Money 20/20, experts discussed the role that it will play in the future of the payment industry.
The panel also talked about various biometric technologies including voice, face, iris and fingerprint recognition, which are paving way for new applications in the financial services and payments sectors.
