FPC’s leading-edge technology selected by world-leading financial information provider

Fingerprint Cards’ (FPC) leading-edge technology has been selected by the global
leader in financial information services for use in its product range of
biometric authentication devices for the financial market. The financial market
imposes the highest demands and requirements on security and the ability to meet
the customer’s standards for high quality and performance were key factors in
the selection of FPC as a supplier. Various authentication products featuring
the world’s smallest and most power-efficient fingerprint sensor, FPC1080A, are
planned to be launched in the second half of 2013.
The financial information services company is aiming to increase the performance
of existing and next-generation fingerprint-enabled devices by using FPC’s world
-leading sensor technology. The customer provides solutions to the financial
market for monitoring and analyzing financial trade data. One special solution
is a service that allows monitoring and analysis of financial market data and
execution of trades in real time. To ensure that only authorized users access
these tools and to link transactions to a specific individual, biometric
fingerprint authentication is used. The customer’s requirements for high
security make the selection of capacitive fingerprint sensor technology a
natural decision. The choice of FPC1080A confirms the leading market position
that FPC occupies as a supplier of sensor technology and solutions for which
image quality, robustness and low power consumption are of the essence.

Comment from Johan Carlström, President and CEO of FPC:
“We are extremely proud and excited at being selected as supplier of fingerprint
technology to this global leader in financial information services and for its
range of biometric authentication devices. Since the financial market is FPC’s
core vertical market, it is strategically important. Based on our successful
experience in the Chinese financial market, we have been able to win this break
-through deal in the very important US market. We opened up our North American
office as late as November 2012 and we have already seen success from this
investment. We are confident that we will announce several more design wins in
North America during 2013.”
