MasterCard is diving deeper into biometric security with a new credit union partnership, according to a Credit Union Times article by Roy Urrico. The company has teamed up with Silicon Valley’s First Tech Federal Credit Union.
Commenting on the new partnership, First Tech VP Terry Rodrick said that biometric technology “may seem very James Bond-like but the reality is fraudsters are very clever and resourceful,” adding that the credit union’s tech-savvy members are “the perfect population to really kick the tires and pressure test new ways of making purchases.”
