Oslo, Norway - 22 July 2021 - IDEX Biometrics ASA (OSE: IDEX / NASDAQ: IDBA), a
leading provider of advanced fingerprint identification and authentication
solutions, has shipped development systems based on the recently announced
reference platform jointly developed by IDEX Biometrics and Infineon
Technologies AG. The customer is among the top three card manufacturers serving
the payment card industry.

The reference design leverages the combination of Infineon's new SLC38BML800
security controller and the latest generation of the TrustedBio(TM) solution
from
IDEX Biometrics. The development platform includes hardware, software, and tools
that streamline and accelerate software integration and application development,
using the fastest, most efficient biometric authentication solution available.

"This platform represents another important milestone for the deployment of
biometric smart cards. The biometric smart card design enables a user
transaction experience that is indistinguishable from a standard contactless
transaction," said Vince Graziani, Chief Executive Officer of IDEX Biometrics.
"The TrustedBio solution, tightly integrated with the SLC38BML800, enables EMV
payment transactions to be completed approximately three times faster than any
other solution in the market. Also, given the level of integration of our
TrustedBio solution with the Infineon security controller, the reference design
allows for use of a fully passive interconnect for low-cost manufacturing and
improved manufacturing yields."

The reference design's development platform is available now from IDEX
Biometrics. Samples of Infineon's SLC38BML800 security controller can be ordered
now, with mass production planned to start at the end of 2021. Samples of IDEX
Biometrics' TrustedBio sensor module also are available now, with mass
production by the end of the third quarter of 2021.
