How Can Biometric Palm Scanners Ensure Fair Government Subsidy Distribution?
Government subsidy programs are essential for social welfare, but they face challenges like identity fraud, outdated ID cards, and citizens without smartphones. Ensuring subsidies reach the right people requires a secure yet inclusive solution.
The WavePass500 Biometric POS combines palm vein authentication with dual card compatibility, making it ideal for government eKYC projects.
Challenges in Subsidy Programs
- Fraud and Duplication: Fake beneficiaries claim subsidies illegally.
- Legacy ID Cards: Many citizens still hold ISO7816 contact-only cards.
- Digital Divide: Not everyone owns smartphones or e-wallets.
The WavePass500 Solution
- Palm Vein Authentication: Almost impossible to forge, preventing fake registrations.
- Dual Card Support: Reads both contact IC cards (ISO7816) and contactless NFC cards (ISO14443A).
- No Smartphone Needed: Citizens can claim subsidies with just their palm or ID card.
Conclusion
With WavePass500 Biometric Palm Scanner, governments can secure subsidy programs, include citizens with legacy IDs, and ensure fair and transparent distribution.
One device, multiple solutions — subsidy programs become faster, safer, and more inclusive.
