SmartMetric Biometric Technology Receives Issued Patents by the United States Patent Office (USPTO)
November 13, 2023

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SmartMetric, Inc. (OTC: SMME) announced the United States Patent Office has recently issued patents that provide protection against those who decide they would like to copy the amazing advanced biometric credit card with a fingerprint sensor built into the card.

“These recently issued patents disallow others from making biometric credit cards that have a fingerprint sensor on the card according to SmartMetric.”

“A massive market for an incredible next generation credit card,” said SmartMetric’s President and CEO, Chaya Hendrick.

Over 300 million credit cards have been issued in the United States. Consumer research reveals that up to 70% of existing credit card holders are willing to pay for a biometric secured credit card.

“The SmartMetric biometric credit card has taken years to develop and its Gen4 product designed for credit card issuing banks, is now in production said SmartMetric.”

The SmartMetric biometric fingerprint activated credit card brings the power of biometric security to the regular credit and debit card. Using the cardholder's own fingerprint, only the cardholder is able to use the card. Touching the card's sensor on the card's surface awakens the card to scan the user’s fingerprint in less than a second. The fingerprint is matched with the user's pre-stored fingerprint that has been registered inside the card's internal cryptographically secured memory.

“Research has shown that up to 70% of existing credit card users are attracted to using a biometric credit card. However, for this to be achieved the card itself must be as easy and simple to use as a current credit card, and must most definitely be able to be biometric secured and safe in all card reading situations,” said Chaya Hendrick.

SmartMetric is now in mass market production of its Gen 4 advanced biometric credit card. The company is preparing to release its advanced biometric credit card to the global credit card issuing community.

The SmartMetric Gen 4 Biometric Fingerprint Card has been developed to meet the specific demand of the credit card industry and credit card users for enhanced credit card security. The card has an in-the-card nano fingerprint scanner that is used to recognize the card holder's fingerprint and in turn activate the card.

The SmartMetric biometric credit card is the only advanced biometric payments card product with an internal rechargeable battery that allows the card to be used in all card usage cases such as restaurants and ATM’s. Having its own power inside the card allows the SmartMetric biometric card to work prior to the card being inserted into a card reader.

The SmartMetric biometric fingerprint recognition technology built inside of the credit and debit card uses embedded biometric technology to positively recognize the card holder and then only after a positive fingerprint recognition, turn on the card's EMV contact and contactless payments chip.

According to an article published by Finder.com 2 the number of credit card accounts open in the United States is 564,500,000. This is an all-time high for the United States.

The average American owns three credit cards. 83% of Americans own at least one credit card. 14% of Americans own at least 10 credit cards.

SmartMetric plans to sell its advanced biometric credit card to card issuing banks for $50.00 a card. In turn, banks will decide whether or not to provide the card for free to its card users or offer it as a premium card to its top tier card users for a fee.
