Bank savings account ID
The Continental Trust Bank in Nigeria has implemented a savings card system based on biometrics and 2D codes.
The bank’s savings account customers can now be positively and securely identified by personal information, including a photo and biometric information, which is printed onto the ID card in the form of a machine-readable code.
When the customer wishes to make a transaction, the card is inserted into an ID card reader, which instantly displays the information on an LCD screen, allowing the teller to verify identity.
The system provides the bank and its customers with a very high degree of security at low cost. This is because the savings cards can be produced much more economically than alternative technologies such as magnetic stripes or chips, and the verification system functions standalone - without the need for connection to computers or networks.
The 2D code stores text and biometric information, and can be used in many ID card applications. It is suitable for printing on ISO-standard plastic cards.
