Mastercard's new credit card has a fingerprint sensor

Fingerprint sensor technology is something that we are increasingly seeing on more and more mobile phones. In addition, it is being used in mobile phone payment systems. Mastercard has thought that this technology is a most interesting system and they have announced that they are going to use it on their new credit card. How?

The new card designed by the company includes a fingerprint sensor on the bottom. It doesn't change its design too much, in fact it's still as wide as ever. With this system it is allowed to make a payment if you need to dial a PIN or have to sign.

Is the fingerprint sensor on the Mastercard card secure?

This method is currently being tested in South Africa, and it is expected that more tests will be done in Europe throughout this 2017 and also in some countries in Asia. Despite the innovative and interesting nature of the system, many voices have commented on their doubts about its security.

The idea that a fingerprint cannot be replicated or easily imitated is false by many security experts. This makes the system devised by Mastercard not totally secure, at least not as much as promised. Despite that, they affirm that it is a safer option than using the PIN. Therefore, the evolution it has remains to be seen.

For those who wish to do so in the future, they must go to their bank where their fingerprints will be taken and they will be transferred to their credit card. What do you think about this new idea of ​​Mastercard? Do you think it is safe?
