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。
