Fingerprints
“Can Fingerprints establish its biometric authentication technology as the standard identity layer embedded inside next-generation payment cards and access credentials?”
Founded in 1997 as a fingerprint sensor developer, Fingerprints rose to prominence as a major supplier to Android OEMs during the smartphone fingerprint sensor boom of 2014-2018. As that market commoditized and Chinese competitors undercut pricing, the company pivoted toward biometric payment cards and smart card solutions, partnering with card manufacturers and chip vendors like STMicroelectronics to embed biometric authentication directly into payment cards. The company now positions itself as critical identity infrastructure for next-generation biometric payment and access cards.
