Fingerprints vice president, and head of sales and business development, payment and access Roger Carrico said: “Collaborating with Flywallet will accelerate growth of the biometric wearables market in Europe and improve consumer access to new biometric products that enhance convenience and trust.

“For Fingerprints, this partnership is further evidence that our sensors can easily be integrated with other hardware devices to support the development of secure and innovative biometrics products.”

Despite the potential of wearable devices in the market, majority of those devices do not have enough security features needed to undertake various activities, including making a transaction or unlocking a car or front door.

The latest partnership follows a collaboration between Fingerprint Cards and Technical Equipment & Supplies Company (Tesco) about launching contactless biometric payment cards in the Middle East.
