Credit Cards with fingerprint scanners!

Credit Cards with fingerprint scanners!

Yes, that’s right. MasterCard has recently unveiled its first payment card with biometric fingerprint scanner. So you can relax and forget about remembering those passwords. The payment cards have been introduced in South Africa first, following successful trials with a local bank and retailer. The technology is expected to move to Europe and Asia soon. The card is no thicker than a regular credit card, with a small, thumbnail-sized rectangle at the top right corner being the fingerprint sensor, easily accessible when you stick the card into a payment terminal. For now, though, the biometric verification can only be used for in-store purchases.
