Biometric Card FAQs

Mastercard is setting up performance requirements and a testing framework which will work for different climates and environmental conditions. However, there are some technical limitations. If someone has a very greasy finger, the biometrics may not work and instead the card will fall back to a secondary CVM such as PIN or signature, set by the bank.

While stakeholders, economics and opportunities may differ, when it comes to preserving revenue, lowering decline rates of good cardholders and ensuring efficient operations are top priorities for merchants - with the majority indicating that innovative technology is crucial to enhancing security.

Merchants should be aware that with the Mastercard Biometric Card:

  • No changes are needed to the software or hardware of a merchant’s POS terminal in order to process Mastercard Biometric Card transactions.
  • biometric authentication process is as fast as PIN but saves the cardholder the effort...

The solution requires no changes for acquirers or merchant hardware or software as it is compatible with any type of EMV-enabled terminal that has satisfactorily completed the Mastercard Terminal Integration Process (TIP).

Below are terminal guidelines to ensure an optimal cardholder experience at the POS for the contact version of the Biometric Card.

Merchants should ensure that their terminals are:

  • EMV-enabled
  • Customer-facing
  • Accessible to cardholders
  • Designed so that the card sensor is not blocked from use
