NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - July 18, 2017) - SmartMetric, Inc. (SMME) - SmartMetric is pleased to announce it has succeeded in manufacturing a credit/debit card that has a fingerprint reader built inside the card. Retaining the thickness of a standard credit card the SmartMetric biometric card uses a persons fingerprint to unlock the card for use. Without a fingerprint match the card is locked down and unable to work.

The SmartMetric biometric credit/debit card has also a built in rechargeable power source that allows the card to do a biometric activation prior to the card being inserted into a standard ATM or POS (Point Of Sale) card reader.

"We have spent over a decade in research and development to miniaturize the electronics that have gone into this super thin fingerprint reader. A standard credit card is no more than 0.85mm thick. We have had to create not only electronic components extremely thin but even the mother board that the components sit on had to be made super thin. From components, mother board, battery to assembly, we have had to push the envelope in the field of electronics to create this amazingly thin fingerprint reader," said today, SmartMetric's President & CEO, Chaya Hendrick.

"To Turn On Your Biometric Secured Card Simply Touch the Cards Fingerprint Sensor on the Cards Surface and the Embedded Scanner Reads Your Fingerprint and Matches It With Your Pre-Stored Fingerprint Inside the Card"
