The single-silicon biometric secure element has been designed to power the fingerprint sensor, process the image received from the fingerprint sensor, and perform the biometric comparison to fingerprint reference data stored within the chip. This is all done on a single chip thanks to its efficient and low-power design.
Zwipe Pay comes with an EMVCo certified biometric smart card operating system and Visa and Mastercard certified biometric payment applets.
Zwipe Pay will come with Visa Product Reference Number and Mastercard Conformity Compliance Statement. Referencing those allows card manufacturers a seamless route to certification.
The Zwipe Pay fingerprint sensor comes pre-laminated to ACF on 35 mm tape, enabling it to be mounted into the card with great precision and efficiency. The fingerprint sensor is placed into the card after lamination. Zwipe has already partnered with many leading equipment manufacturers to support milling and embedding of the fingerprint sensor.
Zwipe Pay is compatible with market-leading production equipment. We provide extensive production and integration support in the form of detailed product documentation, precise production guidelines, references to production equipment we have validated, and performance specifications.
