NEW YORK, September 06, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) – When it comes to damage to a card issuing bank caused by financial fraud such as credit card theft, the damage goes far beyond the immediate financial loss for both the bank and the bank's card customers.
When asked how being a fraud victim made them feel, consumers respondents (69%) said they felt fear regarding their personal financial security. An even larger number felt frustration and annoyance (81%), while those who felt rage or anger was (58%).
These figures show that the emotions surrounding financial fraud are serious and significant in the minds of the bank's customers when they become credit card fraud victims. The damage to the bank's brand and customer relationship stemming from a card fraud instance, based on these research figures, is extremely serious.
"The economic cost as a consequence for a card issuing bank when it comes to fraud can be longer lasting and more costly than the immediate losses from the fraud instance," said SmartMetric’s President & CEO, Chaya Hendrick.

SmartMetric has created a biometric protected credit card that provides a safer card payment experience for card issuers' customers. The SmartMetric credit card has an inbuilt fingerprint scanner that reads the card user's fingerprint and activates the card's EMV chip as it is being inserted into a retail card reader or ATM. Only the legitimate card holder can use the card.
According to consumer research commissioned by SmartMetric, 80% of card users are concerned about card fraud and identity theft. The same research of credit card holders showed that 68% of credit card holders would pay for a biometric credit card.
SmartMetric is offering its card to credit card issuing banks, who will in turn offer the new biometric card to their customers who are looking for greater protection.
According to figures released by the credit card standards body EMVco, more than 10 billion EMV Chip cards have been now issued by financial institutions around the world. The SmartMetric biometric technology works with existing these EMV chips and existing chip card readers and ATMs.
ABOUT THE SMARTMETRIC BIOMETRIC CARD: Keeping your biometric identity safe is at the center of the design of the SmartMetric biometric card. At no time does a card holder's fingerprint leave the card. A person’s fingerprint is stored inside the card and matching of the person's fingerprint is done on the card itself. This was a central design requirement of the SmartMetric biometric card solution that necessitated SmartMetric to create a self-powered inside the card, fully functional fingerprint scanner. Also, so that the card could be used at ATMs and POS (Point Of Sale) card readers the SmartMetric development team created an on card miniature power management system that recharges the card as it is being used in card readers.

A strong bearish trend defined the markets in the first half of the year; since then, the key point has been volatility. Stocks hit a bottom back in June, when the S&P 500 dropped into the 3,600s. That has proven to be a support level in the last two months, and at least one strategist believes that the market won’t be testing those lows again this year.
