Mediterranean Bank in Libya will be the first in the country to trial biometric payment cards that enable customers to authenticate contactless payments with their fingerprint. The bank will pilot a “single silicon biometric payment card platform to assess its impact on making [the] payments experience seamless and more secure for consumers,” Norway-based biometric card technology provider Zwipe says. Banks in India, Iraq, Mexico, Lebanon and Egypt announced plans to begin testing biometric payment cards built on Zwipe’s platform in January.
