AFIS Technology to ensure Banking Security

Securing data and transactional information is a top concern for any financial institution.

Organizations throughout the finance sector increasingly recognize the value of biometric technology to protect both themselves and their customers against the far-reaching consequences of a breach in security.

The Banking sector would require the implementation of its own Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) solution. Without biometric verification against the PR (population register), this solution would not allow the bank to establish a client's proper identity, but it will allow the bank to find out if a particular client has been registered before, possibly under a different name, allowing instant detection if this person attempts to open another bank account.

Early AFIS Development | The Beginning of AFIS

In the early 1960s, the FBI in the United States, the Home Office in the United Kingdom, Paris Police Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS). The thrust of this research was to use emerging electronic digital computers to assist or replace the labor-intensive processes of classifying, searching, and matching Tenprint cards used for personal identification.

Early development and implementation of automated fingerprint systems was limited to national police agencies in Europe, North America, and Japan. Now AFIS is being deployed around the world not only in Law Enforcement Agencies but also different sectors in government level.

What is AFIS

The Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is an advanced biometric identification

methodology which uses digital imaging technology to obtain, store, and analyze fingerprint data. The AFIS was initially used by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for criminal identification. Now, this robust technology is being used for Border Control, Voter Registration, Latent Print, National ID, ePassports, Healthcare & Welfare, Public Safety.

Fingerprinting, as a form of personal identification, is a superior methodology that is proven in practice and accepted in courts of law. AFIS is being used for more than 25 years. Recently, a more advanced form of AFIS uses a process called Plain-Impression live scanning.

There are few well recognized companies in this arena. M2SYS Technology is one of those who specialized in ABIS (Automated Biometric Identification System)/AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System).
