SmartMetric names South America distributor of its biometric credit card

 

SmartMetric has appointed Bogota, Colombia-based Hogier Gartner & Cía as distributor for SmartMetric’s biometric credit and security card within South America.

The SmartMetric biometric card uses a person’s fingerprint to activate the card in a secure on card scan and match. The card is self-powered with a rechargeable battery, conforms to ISO size standards for credit cards and is protected by five recently issued patents.

Founded 60 years ago, Hogier Gartner & Cía is an established Visa and MasterCard certified credit card manufacturer that specializes in advanced high-quality credit card production for card issuing banks throughout Central and Latin America.

Earlier this year, New Jersey-based Protec Secure Card was appointed the national distributor for SmartMetric’s biometric security cards within the USA.
