Goode Intelligence’s second [_Biometrics for Payments report_](https://www.goodeintelligence.com/press-releases/goode-intelligence-forecasts-that-almost-579-million-biometric-payment-cards-will-be-in-use-around-the-world-by-2023-to-enable-frictionless-customer-authentication-for-higher-value-contactless-card-tr/) found that biometrics has become an important tool in the fight against fraud in almost all of the channels that payment is supporting. The report predicts that there will be over 2.6 billion [biometric payment](https://www.financedigest.com/fingerprints-and-tag-systems-collaborate-to-offer-contactless-biometric-payment-cards-globally.html "Fingerprints™ and Tag Systems collaborate to offer contactless biometric payment cards globally") users by 2023, driven by desire for more frictionless authentication, fraud reduction, regulation, and standardization.
