Beautiful Card Corporation (BCC), in collaboration with biometric technology leader IDEX Biometrics, has launched a next-generation biometric payment card based on the IDEX Pay platform for global banking clients. This innovative card has successfully obtained certifications from both Mastercard and Visa, granting it global issuance rights and validating its compliance with international standards of security and performance.

Mastercard previously issued a Letter of Approval authorizing BCC to deploy biometric smart cards powered by IDEX Pay for worldwide distribution. Shortly after, Visa confirmed on April 2, 2025, that BCC’s product had passed a series of stringent technical evaluations, including chip-level security, biometric authentication capabilities, and contactless payment specifications, granting the product global approval.

“This dual recognition from Mastercard and Visa is a testament to the strong partnership between BCC and IDEX Biometrics. As we accelerate our focus on biometric payment and access card applications, we are committed to working closely with our global clients and ecosystem partners to deliver smoother and more secure user experiences. We believe this advancement will further drive adoption of biometric cards around the world,” stated the management team at BCC.

As one of the world’s leading smart card manufacturers, BCC produces over 121 million cards annually and brings more than 32 years of experience in smart card development and manufacturing. The dual certifications underscore BCC’s technological strength and inject new momentum into the global biometric fintech landscape.

延伸導讀:生物辨識卡在日本市場的發展潛力與啟示

此次 IDEX Biometrics 與 BCC 合作推動日本市場的生物辨識支付卡導入,代表亞太地區對高安全性、非接觸式支付技術的接受度正在快速提升。隨著金融機構對身份驗證要求日益嚴格,以及消費者對便捷支付的期待增加,內建指紋感應的生物辨識卡正逐步成為傳統晶片卡的升級選項。

日本長年在智慧卡與 NFC 技術方面領先全球,加上 Visa 與 Mastercard 同時參與本次計畫,將有助於推動標準化與生態系整合,預期將帶動更多銀行與發卡機構投入。

對於智慧卡製造產業而言,這類專案釋放出幾個重要訊號:

  • 智慧卡產品將朝向「結合身份辨識功能」的多功能應用發展
  • 製卡廠需具備「整合感測模組與安全晶片」的製程能力
  • 客製化、創新材質卡片(如金屬、生物可分解材質)未來可能搭配生物辨識模組,提升卡片附加價值與辨識度

第一美卡股份有限公司持續關注全球智慧卡市場趨勢,並已投入具備生物辨識模組整合技術特殊材質卡片(如金屬卡、光感卡)等高附加價值產品的開發。我們將以技術整合與設計優勢為基礎,積極拓展具備安全驗證需求的新興市場機會,朝向多元化、智慧化的卡片應用邁進。

無需電池、感應即亮!LED 發光信用卡開啟智慧支付新時代

在現代社會中,信用卡早已成為日常生活中不可或缺的支付工具。然而,傳統信用卡在交易過程中往往缺乏即時反饋,讓使用者對交易是否成功感到不安。為了解決這一痛點,第一美卡事業股份有限公司 隆重推出全新產品 — 享幣卡 LED 發光信用卡,為持卡人帶來更安全、便捷且具科技感的創新支付體驗。

無需電池,感應即亮:創新發電設計引領新風潮

享幣卡的最大亮點,在於其無需電池供電沒有使用壽命限制。卡片內建特殊線圈發電設計,可透過感應式讀卡機釋放的電磁波產生電力,進而驅動內建微型 LED 燈。當卡片靠近讀卡機時,LED 燈即刻亮起,搭配專利導光技術,大幅提升光照範圍,明確提醒使用者卡片正在進行交易。

即時反饋,交易更安心

每次交易時,藍色 LED 燈會即時亮起。不論在商店購物、餐廳用餐,或使用自動販賣機,LED 燈的亮起即代表交易進行中。此即時反饋機制能有效避免因卡片感應時間不足或擺放位置不當,導致交易失敗或重複扣款,讓使用者用卡更加安心無虞。

個性設計,品味盡現

除了實用功能,享幣卡同時兼具時尚設計感。卡面靈感來自「銀河星鏈」,LED 點亮時如繁星閃耀,結合科技與美感,讓信用卡從此不只是支付工具,更是彰顯個人風格的時尚單品。

引領趨勢,開創支付新未來

享幣卡集結安全性、便利性與美觀性於一身,突破傳統卡片框架。其「無需電池」、「感應即亮」、「即時反饋」等創新特點,不僅解決傳統信用卡的使用痛點,更為未來支付方式帶來嶄新想像。隨著多家銀行陸續導入此技術,享幣卡將成為智慧支付的新主流,為市場帶來革命性改變。

RE10X10台灣再生能源倡議計畫

Since the Electricity Industry Law was revised in 2017, Taiwan’s green electricity trading market has gradually taken shape. In order to accelerate the pace of carbon reduction by Taiwanese enterprises and demonstrate their determination to fight the climate crisis, Greenpeace launched the “RE10x10” initiative. Drawing on the spirit of the RE100 initiative, it hopes to gather Taiwan’s small and medium-sized electricity users to jointly commit to using more than 10% green electricity in 2025. Take concrete actions to support green electricity and fight climate change! 🌳 ⚡

RE100 is a global renewable energy initiative led by The Climate Group and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Joining companies must publicly commit to using 100% green electricity between 2020 and 2050. As Google, Apple, Facebook, HP, Dell, Nike and other international companies have joined RE100, there has been an international wave of green electricity use by companies. As a member of the global supply chain, Beautiful Card Corporation (BCC) must keep up with this industry trend to maintain international competitiveness.

🌱 RE10x10 Initiative Action Plan Goals

Beautiful Card Corporation (BCC) announced that it is committed to achieving the goal of using green electricity to exceed 10% of total electricity consumption by 2025, and signed a letter of intent with Greenpeace.

Friendly to the earth is the corporate purpose of BCC. Net-zero carbon emissions is the common goal of the world. Maintaining the ecological environment and moving towards sustainable development. As the largest chip card manufacturer in Taiwan, we are committed to continuous improvement and innovation in various fields. This is a beautiful card, so we will incorporate energy transition into one of our policies, learn from the spirit of the international RE100, and jointly develop renewable energy! 🌏 💚

自2017年修訂《電力產業法》以來,台灣綠電交易市場已逐步形成。 為了加速台灣企業減碳步伐,展現應對氣候危機的決心,綠色和平發起「RE10x10」倡議。 借鏡RE100倡議精神,希望凝聚台灣中小型電力用戶,共同承諾2025年使用綠色電力超過10%,以實際行動支持綠色電力,應對氣候變遷!

RE100 是由氣候組織和碳資訊揭露計畫 (CDP) 領導的全球再生能源倡議。 加入企業必須公開承諾在2020年至2050年間使用100%綠色電力。隨著Google、蘋果、Facebook、惠普、戴爾、Nike等國際企業加入RE100,國際上掀起了企業使用綠色電力的浪潮。身為全球供應鏈的一員,第一美卡(BCC)必須緊跟這個產業趨勢,才能保持國際競爭力。

🌱 RE10x10 倡議行動計畫目標

第一美卡(BCC)宣布致力於2025年實現綠色電力佔總用電量超過10%的目標,並與綠色和平組織簽署合作意向書。

對地球友善是BCC的企業宗旨。 淨零碳排放是世界的共同目標。 維護生態環境,走向永續發展。 作為台灣最大的晶片卡製造商,我們致力於在各個領域不斷改進和創新。 這是一張漂亮的牌,我們將把能源轉型納入政策之一,學習國際RE100精神,共同發展再生能源!
