Oslo, Norway, and London, UK - 14 August 2024 - TaluCard, in collaboration with
IDEX Biometrics and a London based issuer is launching its state-of-the-art
biometric payment solution. This groundbreaking initiative is set to transform
payment solutions with a strong focus on accessibility and security for all
users, including those with visual impairments and members of the aging
community.

TaluCard features fingerprint authentication and enhanced security as only the
authorised, registered user can make transactions. Additionally, it includes
tactile guidance markers that help users accurately locate the fingerprint
sensor and voice guidance. TaluCard offers unlimited contactless transactions,
removing the need for PINs or signatures, making transactions seamless and
efficient.

The TaluCard app, will be launched on iOS and Android, providing a digital
solution in support of the TaluCard for managing payments and finances. A
proprietary access technology offers discreet audio feedback for visually
impaired users to verify transaction details, ensuring a secure and private user
experience.

TaluCard is committed to making payment solutions usable for everyone, ensuring
ease of use also for those with accessibility issues. Current payment systems
pose significant challenges for visually impaired, leading to security risks and
potential fraud. With approximately 2.3 million people in the UK having some
form of visual impairment, TaluCard offers more secure and accessible payment
options.

The market introduction is targeted for late 2024 and its initial launch phase
will provide refinement of the user experience in collaboration with interest
organizations for visually impaired.

TaluCard is fully compliant with the UK Consumer Duty and Accessibility laws as
well as the European Accessibility Act, which is set to take effect in 2025.
This solution provides banks and fintech's with effective and ready-to-implement
means of meeting the highest standards of fairness, transparency, and
inclusivity as mandated by the regulators.
