American Express Uses Chip Cards And Biometrics At Headquarters
-----------------------------------------------------------
American Express Co., whose headquarters are across from the site of the destroyed World Trade Center towers, has stepped up security at its offices using biometrics and smart cards. Employees use contactless smart cards to gain access to the building entrance and must authenticate themselves with chip cards and fingerprint biometrics at high-security doors within the building. The fingerprint scanners are supplied by Toronto-based Bioscrypt Inc. Bioscrypt and AmEx have been working together for more than a year, and a fingerprint system has been in place "for a significant time," says Julia Webb, marketing vice president for Bioscrypt. Other AmEx facilities may be using the technology soon, she adds. AmEx's headquarters building was damaged during the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, and several AmEx employees working in a nearby building were killed.
