London, UK - Today at the Tecnobanca trade show in Mexico City, ICL, a supplier of IT systems and services, introduced its CardStore(TM) application for the Fujitsu Series 7000(TM) automated teller machines, combining fourth-generation ATM and cash-dispensing capabilities with a fingerprint scanner. Banorte, a Mexican financial institution with more than 600 branches throughout the country, is the first to use CardStore technology in a project.
The technology being installed in a manufacturing facility in Mexico, provides employees rapid access to cash from their paychecks. At the beginning and end of a work shift, an employee inserts a smart card in an electronic reader and their finger in a fingerprint scanner to identify themselves, enabling employers to collect time and attendance information. At the end of a pay period, the employee can retrieve their cash from an ATM as needed. CardStore offers a combination of smart card technology combined with the security of identification biometrics -- the fingerprint scanner -- on an ATM with fingerprint recognition. ICL officials feel that the system will greatly reduced the possibility of theft and misuse."
