In a move that seems like it should have happened in
the year 2000, a Japanese bank announced it will be
installing about a dozen automated teller machines that
can read customers' palms to identify them. Ogaki
Kyoritsu Bank will be the country's first to introduce
the system.
First,
Ogaki Kyoritsu
Bank (Japanese site) customers will
register their biometric information at a branch,
according to Gizmag's
Darren Quick.
Then they'll be able to go to one of the new ATMs and
get cash simply by scanning a hand, typing in their
birthdate and a four-digit PIN.
