$SMME - The company has clearly used their skills to develop a biometric security package that is superior to other alternatives currently in use today. The features engineered by SMME will ensure the greatest degree of versatility and usefulness to the widest range of users and that's the way to the best revenue returns for the company in the long run.

From the news:

What makes the SmartMetric biometric credit card solution so more advanced than other biometric cards is that it allows the users fingerprint to be scanned without being inserted into a card reader. This allows the card to work with ATM’s that swallow the card and of course restaurants that take the card from the table to the checkout.

"Having a self-powered card that is powered independently from the card reader was an imperative in our design and development process. In fact, we could have released a non-powered card that would of course not work with most ATM’s several years ago, but we knew that the consumer would want a card that would work in all situations," said SmartMetric’s President & CEO, Chaya Hendrick."

The other great advantage of the SmartMetric card is that unlike other biometric cards a bank can issue the card through the mail and have the card holder embed or enroll their fingerprint on the card at home. Other biometric card systems require the card holder to go into an office and use a special fingerprint reading machine to enroll their fingerprint on a card.
