$SMME SmartMetric has created a biometric protected credit card that provides a safer card payment experience for card issuers' customers. The SmartMetric credit card has an inbuilt fingerprint scanner that reads the card user's fingerprint and activates the card's EMV chip as it is being inserted into a retail card reader or ATM. Only the legitimate card holder can use the card.

According to consumer research commissioned by SmartMetric, 80% of card users are concerned about card fraud and identity theft. The same research of credit card holders showed that 68% of credit card holders would pay for a biometric credit card.
