2.37 Billion EMV Chip Payment Cards Issued Globally -- SmartMetric Adds Biometric Security Inside Chip Cards


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Mar 12, 2015) - SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) The market for EMV Chip Cards has grown to over 2.37 billion issued credit and debit cards globally. These cards use a chip on the surface rather than relying on the 40 year old mag stripe technology to store a card users information. Problem is that the card can still be hacked or used by someone else. 

SmartMetric has spent over a decade in R&D to create a biometric fingerprint scanner inside the card in order to tie the use of the card to the authorized card user. Shrinking the electronics of a fingerprint scanner to less than 1/3 of the thickness of a credit card has been a major achievement and now gives SmartMetric a unique new security product for the 2.37 billion chip cards in use around the World said the company President & CEO Chaya Hendrick.
