Moreover, increasing adoption of biometric authentication in digital payments enhances transaction speed and security, driving market growth in financial services and e-commerce, as it replaces traditional methods such as OTPs and passwords. For instance, in June 2025, NEXT Biometrics introduced the Granite Sensor, a FAP 30 fingerprint sensor designed for applications such as national ID, banking, and elections. This sensor, which offers a 67% larger fingerprint sensing area compared to the Basalt FAP 20 series, enhances accuracy, resolution, and security for high-end uses. Utilizing NEXT's Active Thermal technology for effective user authentication and liveness detection, the Granite Sensor also reduces thickness, optimizes image resolution, and minimizes energy consumption, facilitating integration with various devices while delivering exceptional performance in diverse conditions.

• In July 2025, Federal Bank introduced India's first biometric authentication system for e-commerce card payments, allowing customers to use fingerprint or facial recognition instead of a one-time password (OTP). Developed with fintech companies M2P and MinkasuPay, this system complies with the Reserve Bank of India's two-factor authentication rules and reduces checkout time to three to four seconds. It is compatible with Android and iOS, is currently available on select merchant apps, and securely stores biometric data on users' devices. If verification fails, it defaults to the traditional OTP method. This initiative highlights a growing trend in India's fintech sector towards secure, efficient payment methods, reflecting global movements towards eliminating passwords in transactions.
