## Abstract

Disclosed is a secure finger sensing contactless card developed to prevent unintentional and unannounced withdrawals from contactless credit card and contactless debit card users and to protect users from suffering unwanted situations such as theft. The secure finger sensing contactless card provides users with a safe use during shopping since the contactless credit cards and contactless debit cards do not make payment unless they detect the fingerprint of the person.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A secure finger sensing contactless card comprising:
a card body;
a near field/area communication providing wireless connection between the card body and a POS device via radio waves; and
a finger sensing surface that is located on the card body, that activates the near field/area communication by completing the contactless payment circuit with the help of the two conductive poles or capacitive surface it contains, with the touch of a human finger.
