From the SMME news:
Figures published by EMVCo 1 reveal that by year end of 2020, 10.8 billion EMV® chip cards have been issued by financial institutions and were in global circulation – a massive increase of nearly 1 Billion credit and debit EMV® cards compared to the previous twelve months.
In addition, EMVCo reports that 86% of all card-present transactions conducted globally use EMV® chip technology. This is based on the data that could be obtained from American Express, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, UnionPay and Visa. It should be noted that, globally, 86.1% of transactions are EMV chip.
SmartMetric foresaw the global adoption of credit and debit cards with chips. It embarked on developing a biometric fingerprint scanner small enough to fit inside a credit card over a decade ago. “Reducing the electronics to miniature scale of less than 0.3mm allowing it to fit inside a credit card that meets ISO standards for such cards has been a long process but one we are glad we set out to achieve”, said today SmartMetric’s President and CEO, Chaya Hendrick.
