What can’t technology do? Pregnant
women might begin to give birth technologically too. Don't you think so?
Japanese technology company, Hitachi and Polish banking service
provider, Itcard S.A. are working on
their biometric ‘Finger Vein’ technology across Poland. The technology called ‘Planet
Cash’ allows people to withdraw money and make
payments without ATMs and PINs by placing their fingers in a scanner.
“Finger Vein is a key technology
in our company’s strategy, Jarosław Chrzanowski. We’ve already been using this
technology for ATMs in the cooperative banking sector. Once again, ITCARD is
making a revolution in the market by launching the first biometric shared
network in Europe which can be used by all banking customers,” CEO at ITCARD
S.A, said in a statement.
The researcher, Fredrik Leifland also
speaking about the technology added, “Every individual's vein pattern is
completely unique, so there really is no way of committing fraud with this
system. You always need your hand scanned for a payment to go through.'
The technology which works by
using a combination of a CCD camera and near-infrared light has already been
used in several banks in Poland and Turkey.
