Yes, because the fingerprint on each finger is different.

Zwipe Access & Zwipe Pay share the same hardware platform which has undergone the extensive durability testing mandated by payment schemes (Visa & Mastercard) for the daily usage of payment cards. 

Zwipe Access is a card-based fingerprint access control solution. Zwipe Access doesn’t require an additional biometric reader because fingerprint capture, feature extraction, and biometric comparison are performed within the Zwipe Access card. 

Zwipe Access enables two-factor authentication with biometrics without the need of an additional fingerprint reader, where the card verifies the cardholder identity, and the access control system verifies the card’s authenticity and integrity. 

Zwipe Access doesn’t store the full user's fingerprint but only an abstract representation of the characteristic features extracted from the captured fingerprint images. This is called a biometric template. 

The registration of the cardholder’s fingerprint(s) is called enrollment. 

During the enrollment, the fingerprint sensor passes the captured fingerprint images to the biometric secure element (SE) using a secure channel. The biometric secure element then extracts and securely stores the biometric reference data. After this process is completed, all the captured images are deleted and only the extracted biometric reference template is stored in the Zwipe Access card secure memory. 

Likewise, during later verifications, a freshly captured image is passed in over a secure channel from the fingerprint sensor to the secure element. The secure element then extracts another fingerprint template (called the probe template) and compares it with the reference template. An accredited 3rd party laboratory has reviewed this architecture and performed tests per EMVCo, Visa, and Mastercard requirements.

The reality is that the majority of point-of-sale payments are still made using payment cards, often out of habit and because it is perceived to be convenient. As the saying goes, "old habits are hard to break".

Global payment card volumes are projected to grow for the foreseeable future and biometric payment cards may actually drive and extend this trend. Meanwhile, many leading suppliers of mobile wallets have already introduced payment cards, most notably Klarna, Stripe, Uber, Paytm, Apple, etc.

We believe that issuers will want to offer consumers different payment alternatives for different purposes to provide a better customer experience. Our technology provides a great experience to the end user at the point of sale because it is quick, seamless, reliable and works everywhere without a battery.

No. After enrollment, your biometric payment card is programmed to lock completely. It will not be possible to de-enroll your fingerprint or enroll any other fingerprint on your card after you have enrolled your finger on the card.
