SmartMetric, Inc. announce that the product has passed all internal electronic and software testing. This includes the card's own internal system operating system and advanced submicro power management system. SmartMetric is the first truly biometric credit card having its own internal rechargeable battery that allows the card to operate at all card readers, including ATMs and gas pumps.

The SmartMetric biometric credit card is the only advanced biometric payments card product with an internal rechargeable battery that allows the card to be used in all card usage cases such as restaurants and ATMs. Having its own power inside the card allows the SmartMetric biometric card to work prior to the card being inserted into a card reader. The SmartMetric biometric fingerprint recognition technology built inside of the credit and debit card uses embedded biometric technology built by SmartMetric to positively recognize the card holder and then only after a positive fingerprint recognition, turn on the card's EMV contact and contactless payments chip.
