While contactless payments are rapidly gaining ground around the

world, today’s next big trend can already be seen on the horizon: on-card

biometric authentication. Banks, government agencies and retailers are

all looking for quicker and more secure identification and authentication

solutions, and fingerprint recognition can deliver just this, eliminating

the need for signatures and pin codes while allowing consumers to

securely use contactless cards even for high value payments.

Linxens, a global leader in contact and contactless secured connectivity

solutions, provides inlays and an interconnection technology that

enable

the easy integration of electronic components such as

biometric sensors into ISO cards, allowing card manufacturers to

leverage existing card manufacturing infrastructure and minimizing

the need for investment in new machines. Linxens has partnered with

leading biometric solution provider Fingerprint Cards to become the

“one-stop-shop” for biometric card solutions. Linxens’ streamlined

supply chain is ready to deliver the critical components for high-

volume production of biometric card systems for payments, access

control and eGovernment applications, guaranteeing the

highest quality and compatibility with all smartcard industry

standards.

According to various studies, the use of Biometric payment cards are

expected to grow significantly in the coming years, for several reasons:

• Secure alternative to PIN code-based payment cards

• No change on the infrastructure (POS, EMV terminals)

• Banks do not need back-end development

Key Features

• Compatible with worldwide standard card integration process

• Thin tape and homogenous substrate for most eﬀicient reading

• Black coverlay for great resistance against deterioration

• Plated Via to enable good referencing and ESD protection

• Delivered in standard smacard 35mm reels

• Available for Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) connectivity

• Integrates in PRELAM® products employing wire-embedding

technology or flexible PCB interlayer.
