From April 2019 Mastercard makes biometric authentication available to shoppers in Hungary too. A joint study by the University of Oxford and Mastercard has found that the majority of shoppers prefer this new type of payment to the classic PIN code one. The Mastercard Identity Check solution is used in 37 countries all over the world: shoppers can use their fingerprint, iris or face for authentication when buying or banking online. //
