    A biometric payment card is a new kind of payment card that allows you to pay by simply tapping your finger or scanning your eyes on the card reader. Visa has launched a pilot of a new dual-interface (the chip- and contactless-enabled) biometric payment card.

    The key features are that the fingerprint biometric is stored only on the card for security, and it is designed to be compatible with the existing payment terminals that accept contactless- or chip-based payments around the world. The biometric sensor is powered by the payment terminal, ensuring there is no embedded battery or need to re-charge the card.
