The following report is by Biometric Update:
The new biometric payment card from Giesecke+Devrient has been launched under the brand name ‘Convego YOU.’
Benefits to issuers include a compelling new offering for high-value customers, an enjoyable user experience, inherently secure authentication, robust onboarding and G+D extensive experience as a partner, according to a company announcement.
Activation is carried out with a sleeve or mobile phone app on Android or iOS.
The biometric cards are produced through hot lamination, and their secure element is EMV and CC certified, G+D says.
G+D’s partners on the Convego YOU cards are NXP Semiconductors and Linxens. The three partners are behind the biometric payment card originally trialed by Crédit Agricole in 2019, which Fingerprint Cards supplied the sensor for.
An advertisement from G+D depicts the cards’ use for retail, travel and hospitality payments.
With the advancement of biometric technologies, banks can now offer an advanced card that is uniquely recognizing its owner every time upon payment – a card that knows YOU.
Says G+D VP and Global Head of Card Products Mikko Kähkönen.
G+D has previously launched other products, including a secure remote identification solution, under the Convego brand.
The company is also a part of the E-Kart joint venture, which partnered with Idex Biometrics last year to deliver biometric payment cards in Eastern Europe.
ST Card Also Features Fingerprint Cards And Linxens Tech
STMicroelectronics says its preparations to bring its biometric payment cards to market are progressing, Payment Navi reports, as translated from Japanese by Google.
The company showed off its STPay-Topaz-Bio biometric system-on-card (BSoC) at Trustech 2022 in November and December, along with the reader/writer integrated circuits for NFC, ST25R3916B-AQWT and ST25R3917B-AQWT.
The cards demonstrated were built with Fingerprint Cards’ sensors on a pre-laminated inlay, and a Linxens EMV module.
The company also revealed a partnership with Ellipse on dynamic CVVs to enable security code changes.
STMicro’s technology is certified for NFC Forum CR13, in addition to EMVCo 3.1a.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:16-18
Yet another device inching the world closer to eventually accepting the mark of the beast.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Now they’re touching the chip at payment, but soon the chip itself will be inside their skin. They will be touching it 24/7.
I have a serious question:
At Wendy’s, we clock in and clock out with our fingerprint or thumbprint. Is that an issue? I’m worried. I’m not trying to help the MOTB system come in.
I think it’s an issue, in the sense that this technology is indeed being more prevalent now, that you yourself are already using it in some form. At my work, we still use paper cards with a barcode to swipe in and out, not that this is considerably any better since in essence barcodes were the beginnings of this satanic technology. I guess there’s nothing you can do now with the thing of giving up your personal fingerprint to them.
The thing is, when we start to give in and participate in their system, this may weaken our resolve little by little, to resist and fight it as time goes by. Ask the Lord for guidance on this. Maybe pray for another job that does not use their system.
Honestly though, you should’ve left that job the moment you were informed that they will be requiring your fingerprint to clock in or out.
Sorry, Neil.
I’m seeing about applying elsewhere, because where I’m at at this particular Wendy’s, it’s a bunch of crooks! Thieves including a disgusting little toad GM who was fired from a dollar store for stealing and somehow by some phenomenon, became a general manager!
Also, there’s an employee who stole 50 dollars and when I confronted him, he got scared, clocked out, and ran! Guess what: I was to give him a ride home but after I confronted him, he got scared and fled!
