China has unveiled the world’s first facial recognition ATM.
The new cash machine was developed by Tsinghua University, a research
university in Beijing, and Tzekwan Technology, a Hangzhou-based company
specializing in financial security protection, Chinese state media
reported.
“This technology will ensure the greater security of card owners," said Gu Zikun, Tzekwan chairman and anti-graft expert.
The product has passed government certification and will soon be available on the market, he said.
The
ATM works by mapping facial data and matching it against an ID
database. The technique, commonly used in surveillance, is called
biometric authentication and uses facial feature and iris recognition.
As well as preventing people from accessing the accounts of others, the
ATM can identify fake notes. The machine is 20 per cent more accurate at verifying the authenticity of multiple currencies compared with the average ATM used globally, said Gu.
New technology is designed to crack down on financial fraudsters by using big data.
