Mumbai, India - IDEX Biometrics is proud to announce the launch of India's first
RuPay biometric payment card, in collaboration with Hitachi Payment Services and
Airtel Payments Bank. The launch was unveiled at the prestigious Global Fintech
Fest in Mumbai, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of secure and
inclusive digital payments in India.

This innovative solution leverages IDEX Pay, our advanced biometric smart card
technology, enabling fingerprint authentication as a second factor of
authentication (AFA) for digital transactions. The launch follows the Reserve
Bank of India's (RBI) recent regulatory update permitting biometric
authentication for digital payments, paving the way for more secure and user-
friendly payment experiences.

The biometric RuPay card is currently undergoing pilot testing, with all
partners working closely to bring it to market as soon as possible. This
initiative reflects IDEX Biometrics' long-term commitment to supporting the
RuPay ecosystem and advancing India's rapidly growing card payments market.

"The RBI's AFA update in September was a watershed moment for the Indian
payments industry," said Anders Storbråten, CEO of IDEX Biometrics. "We are
well-positioned, alongside our Indian and global partners, to lead the adoption
of biometric payment cards across RuPay, Visa, and Mastercard networks.
Launching the first RuPay biometric card at the Global Fintech Fest is a proud
achievement for IDEX and our partners."

This collaboration underscores the shared vision of IDEX Biometrics, Hitachi
Payment Services, and Airtel Payments Bank to deliver secure, convenient, and
inclusive payment solutions to millions of Indian consumers.
