Unisys Corp. has announced results from its poll that points to two-thirds of consumers supporting the use of fingerprints in place of or in addition to signatures, PIN numbers or photo IDs for identity verification with credit card purchases.
Specifically, in the responses from over 300 consumers, 63% chose fingerprints as the best way to prove their ownership of a credit card as compared with 20% choosing photo verification, 13% choosing PIN numbers and six percent choosing signatures.
Unisys is hopeful these poll results in addition to other polls that showed overwhelming support for biometrics in airport security point to a general increase in comfort and support for incorporating biometric technology into everyday life.
