Eastern Bank to roll out world’s first metal contactless biometric payment card

Eastern Bank (EBL) in Bangladesh is set to launch the world’s first biometric metal card that will enable customers to authenticate contactless payments at the point of sale with their fingerprint1.

The card is made out of metal and offers the highest level of security and a seamless payment experience, making it an ideal choice for customers seeking distinctive and exclusive payment solutions that align with their dynamic and tech-savvy lifestyles.

EBL’s wearable payments solution, known as Weareb, enables users to link their card account to an NFC payments ring, phone grip, phone holder, wristband, or fob sleeve and then use the device to make in-store contactless payments at a vast network of merchants globally.
