<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">BankIslami Pakistan Limited has officially launched Pakistan’s first 
cardless biometric ATM service to facilitate its customers. This service
 will use customer’s thumb impression for his/her identity and no pin 
code will be required.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This service will be especially helpful for Pakistan’s rural 
population for whom it is difficult to remember pin codes due to low 
literacy rates.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">BankIslami first launched biometric enabled ATMs in Pakistan back in 
2006. In December 2012 BankIslami had a soft launch of the cardless 
service at selected ATMs. However, now the service has been activated 
throughout the nation across a network of 201 branches in 77 cities.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">BankIslami currently has 160 ATMs, which are biometric enabled. The 
bank aims to add another 40 ATMs across Pakistan by the end of this 
year.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The biometric ATM service is limited to Bankislami customers only; 
however, customers of other banks can continue using BankIslami’s 
regular ATM service with their ATM cards and pin numbers.
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kazi Abdul Muqtadir and Saeed Ahmed, Deputy Governors State Bank of 
Pakistan (SBP) inaugurated the unique service at a ceremony held at 
BankIslami’s Head Office. Hasan Aziz Bilgrami CEO BankIslami, Asad Alim 
Head Information System, George Flouros Area VP MEA NCR, Muhammad Faisal
 Shaikh Head Products & Business Development were also present 
during the launch ceremony.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To enable the usage of this service BankIslami customers will be 
asked to register his/her biometric identification against CNIC while 
opening an account. Customer’s left and right thumb will be used for 
registration purposes. After approval of the customer’s account opening 
request, his/her thumb impressions/biometric record will be linked with 
the account through CNIC.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">During the launch of this service Mr Hasan Aziz Bilgrami, CEO of 
BankIslami reiterated that this biometric technology has been adopted to
 make banking transactions more secure. He further stated that now 
Bankislami customers can use ATM facility with just a single thumb 
impression.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">On the occasion NCR Corporation’s representative George Flouros said 
that with the successful launch of biometric ATM, now NCR can export 
this technology from Pakistan.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The NCR Corporation is a US-based computer hardware, software and 
electronics company that provides products and services that enable 
businesses to connect, interact and transact with their customers.</span></span><br />
