Mastercard will offer hardware performance testing to assess the quality of solutions’ matching engines. The aim is to enable financial services firms assess the hardware and software integrating with payment solutions.
In this context, FIME cited a report by Goode Intelligence that forecasts more than 2.6 billion users of such systems by 2023.
FIME vice president of services Stephanie El Rhomri said: “Biometrics have taken the payments world by storm in recent years, delivering consumers greater convenience and security. But in a post-PSD2 and GDPR world, players across mobile and payments are increasingly understanding the importance of performance and quality to ensure customer adoption of new secure authentication solutions.
“We’re proud to be championing this evaluation programme, the first of its kind to be fully ISO-compliant, as we continue to support the ever-expanding role of biometrics in payments.”
