Biometric ATMs

No need for a card and PIN when using an account holder's ATM, just press your finger on the screen and receive money from the machine.

Currently, Colombia and Chile are among the few countries in the world where biometric fingerprinting banks apply to verify customer identification when dealing with ATMs. Compared to a card-based and PIN-based withdrawal system, biometric ATMs are more convenient to avoid ATM counterfeiting or password theft.

Last year, Suruga Bank in Japan introduced ATMs that allowed customers to access their accounts by poking their palms in front of the reader to identify the blood vessels. Meanwhile, 350 banks in North America are using a hand-held identification system that allows consumers to open their own safes. In order to open the safe, the handler simply puts his hand on the monitor to examine the width of the palm of his hand, the length of his fingers, and other features of the hand.
