To bring a new level of convenience, security and reliability to Diebold’s identiCenter security system, Diebold, Incorporated, US Biometrics Corporation, and Lumidigm Inc. have joined forces. Lumidigm’s patented Venus multispectral fingerprint sensors will now be part of every new Diebold identiCenter installation. Because of the sensor’s superior enrollment capability and ease of use, the technology was selected by US Biometrics for Diebold’s innovative identification solution. Ensuring the security of financial transactions in all weather conditions, Diebold will be integrating, later this year, biometrics with its drive-up systems and has selected Lumidigm’s multispectral imaging technology for these applications.

To quickly, securely and accurately identify account holders within a financial institution, powered by US Biometrics, Diebold’s identiCenter is a biometric security solution for financial institutions that uses an individual's fingerprint. To address the threat of identity theft among consumers and financial institutions, a concern that affects 10 million Americans at a total cost impact of $50 billion annually, it uses proven Lumidigm multispectral fingerprint technology.

“The Lumidigm sensor brings an entirely new level of performance. It allows us the ability to enroll customers that have very fine fingerprints that typically cannot be captured on conventional optical sensors,” said Diebold identiCenter product manager, Tim O'Neill, being pleased with the upgrade. He added: “Customer satisfaction is paramount, and the Lumidigm sensor helps Diebold achieve that.”

By exposing the fingerprint surface and subsurface at the same time, Lumidigm’s fingerprint sensors capture accurate and high-quality fingerprint images. This capability permits Lumidigm to achieve high biometric performance in security applications without compromising convenience for the end user. It also allows use in environments where other sensors fail.
