Yes, Zwipe is developing a mobile phone app for enrollment. The app uses the phone’s in-built NFC interface to contactlessly power up and communicate with the card.
If the enrollment kit and biometric card are intercepted by another person, can they enroll their fingerprint on the card and start using it?
The enrollment kit simply provides the necessary power to enable the card to turn on and register the fingerprint from the user, as part of the enrollment process. There is nothing connecting the kit specifically to the cardholder. While any user who intercepts the enrollment kit and the biometric card can enroll his/ her fingerprint, s/he cannot use the card as the card will be activated in the first transaction with the PIN code. The PIN code will be sent to the rightful cardholder in a separate channel and/or time.
Can I import biometric templates that are already captured externally into Zwipe Access?
The import of biometric templates to Zwipe Access is not supported for security reasons. Zwipe Access was developed to capture, process, and store fingerprint data exclusively in the card and without the need of an external fingerprint reader.
If my card is lost or stolen, can someone de-enroll my fingerprint and enroll their own fingerprint on my card after I have enrolled and activated it?
No. After enrollment, your biometric payment card is programmed to lock completely. It will not be possible to de-enroll your fingerprint or enroll any other fingerprint on your card after you have enrolled your finger on the card.
For which product forms and markets does Zwipe provide solutions?
Zwipe's biometric platform can be embedded in a wide range of form factors. Our current focus is on card and wearable products within payments, access control and ID.
Zwipe is positioned as a system integrator and an enabler of contactless biometric authentication without the use of batteries. We buy components from various suppliers to build, offer and sell our modular Zwipe Pay platform to smart card manufacturers who laminate the cards and embed the biometric contact plate module and sensor in the card. Then the cards are personalized and sold on to banks as part of a total fulfillment delivery with the requested solution for enrollment.
