Garanti BBVA launches Türkiye’s first biometric credit card
Garanti BBVA, a leader in digital payment innovation in Türkiye, has introduced the country's first biometric verification card, the Bonus Platinum Biometric Card. This groundbreaking product, described as a "game-changing technology" in payment systems, enables users to make quick, unencrypted, and secure payments by scanning their fingerprints. It also allows for limitless secure contactless payments, setting a new standard in the industry.
Executive Vice President Murat Çağrı Süzer stated that Türkiye excels in advanced payment technologies, with Garanti BBVA pioneering these innovations. He noted that contactless payment, introduced by Garanti BBVA in 2010, surged during the pandemic. Despite this, 146 million monthly transactions in the country still require passwords or PINs. Hence the launch of the Bonus Biometric Card, by enabling fingerprint payments, heralds a new era in secure transactions.
Süzer reaffirmed the bank’s bid to lead with technology and innovation. Garanti BBVA is committed to develop innovative solutions for its customers and the sector.
