BNP Paribas to Offer its Visa Premier Cardholders the Chance to Upgrade to Contactless Fingerprint Option for an Extra €24 Per Yr
January 27, 2021 @ 11:30 pm By Omar Faridi
BNP Paribas (EPA: BNP), a French international banking group that’s ranked as the 8th largest bank in the world in terms of total assets (appr. €2 trillion), will be providing its Visa Premier cardholders the opportunity to update to a contactless fingerprint option for a €24 annual fee.
BNP Paribas began testing these cards, which use technology developed by Thales, with its customers during 2020.
These cards allow users to carry out contactless payments above the normal limit by simply placing a finger on the card at the point-of-sale (PoS). As confirmed by local reports, all customers will be offered these biometric cards at some point later this year. However, they will be required to pay an additional €24 in charges on top of their existing €134 annual card fee.
