Courbevoie, FRANCE and Oslo, NORWAY - 19 September 2019 - IDEMIA, the global
leader in Augmented Identity and one of the world's largest biometric payment
card manufacturers, and Zwipe, a leading biometric technology company, have
signed an exclusive partnership and distribution agreement that sees the two
companies co-investing in the development of a disruptive biometric payment card
platform. The companies' shared vision is to enable mass volume market take-off
and long-term growth for biometric payment cards, by bringing to market a
technology platform that will significantly reduce the complexity and cost of
the design and production process for biometric payment cards, enabling an
accelerated path to mass volumes which will ultimately benefit the issuers and
users of cards.

This result is achieved by drastically reducing the number of components,
integrating in a single chip the functions that previously required a Secure
Element, a Microcontroller, and more than thirty external components, all
mounted on a flexible PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Cards incorporating this new
technology will be in the market in H2 2020, with high volume deployment
starting in 2021.

Speaking on the agreement, Amanda Gourbault, Executive Vice-President for
Financial institutions activities at IDEMIA, declared: "this is a strategic,
high profile project for IDEMIA.  We are very excited about what this platform
will enable in terms of market growth and the penetration of biometric payment
cards. IDEMIA is delighted to partner with Zwipe, a company with a solid
intellectual property portfolio and an expanding global customer network; we are
confident that our new solution will command a leading position in the
marketplace."

Zwipe will have worldwide exclusive rights to provide this solution to
manufacturers of payment cards, wearables and other payment solutions, and their
suppliers, when the product becomes available. IDEMIA has ownership of this
technology and will sell F.CODE to its Financial Institutions customers. Once
again, by bringing the best of its technology and vision, IDEMIA is driving the
growth of the biometric cards market.

Commenting on this major development, André Løvestam, CEO of Zwipe said "we are
excited and proud to enter a significant partnership with IDEMIA, a prominent
global industry leader. The platform represents a technological leap that will
serve as a catalyst to enable full biometric payment card costs to come down
significantly, driving mass volume market growth and complementing our current
and future product portfolios. We look forward to bringing this platform to our
customers to continue to shape the biometric payments industry."
