IDEX fingerprint sensor for biometric cards demonstrated at Money20/20 Europe




Copenhagen, Denmark, 27 June 2017 - IDEX ASA (Oslo Børs: IDEX), a leading
developer of advanced fingerprint solutions, announce that a top-tier European
card integrator is demonstrating the company's new flexible fingerprint sensor
at Money20/20, Europe's largest FinTech event, this week.

In the wake of the ongoing mass adoption of biometric technology in smartphones,
recently a substantial increase in interest has emerged to capitalise on the
usability and security benefits of fingerprint biometrics in payment and
identity smartcards. This trend is expected to be a prevalent theme at
Money20/20 Europe, as key stakeholders across the payments and financial
services ecosystem gather to discuss the evolution of how consumers as well as
businesses manage and approach monetary transactions.

IDEX is positioned to positively influence the industry's next generation of
payments with its ground-breaking fingerprint sensors, which enable superior
usability and unmatched security for payment cards. As evidence of the company's
progress towards this objective, IDEX recently announced that its highly
differentiated, flexible off-chip fingerprint sensor is featured in Mastercard's
next generation biometric card.

Additionally, last week IDEX launched its newest fingerprint sensor for dual
interface cards, which is now sampling with a top-tier European card integrator
participating at Money20/20 Europe. IDEX's new-low power sensor enables a
biometric card with industry-leading fingerprint authentication, while
maintaining the same shape, size and flexibility as current ISO standard EMV
payment cards. Most importantly, the solution capitalises on the state-of-the-
art power management offered by IDEX's newest ASIC to deliver this performance
in both contact and contactless modes, without the need for an internal power
source.

In addition to the performance and form factor benefits of the company's off-
chip fingerprint technology, IDEX's sensors for biometric cards are designed to
be integrated using current EMV card manufacturing equipment and processes,
making the solution uniquely easy to scale and manufacture at a lower cost by
leveraging the industry's existing supply chain. Finally, IDEX's sensor
solutions for payment cards are fully compatible with the systems and payment
terminals already deployed in markets across the globe, regardless of whether
they feature contact or contactless technology. The company is actively sampling
its solutions today, with the expectation to be ready for volume production in
the second half of 2017.
