Fingerprint reading scanner eliminates trick of using smart card of another worker

Some 4,450 further jobs are to be lost at Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) after reorganising its business. The firm wants to reduce its exposure to risk and three-quarters of its job losses will be split between its UK and overseas operations in its investment bank operation Global Banking & Markets (GBM). One of GBM’s four offices is in Edinburgh, and the bank aims to cut GBM's balance sheet by £120bn to £300bn under the plan.

Time and Attendance Scotland are market leaders in providing smart card and biometric time and attendance systems across the Scottish region. For increased security and to prevent ‘buddy clockings’, you may wish to consider implementing biometric time and attendance within your system. Biometrics provide a reliable and accurate two-factor authentication environment, where the ability to trick the system by using another person’s smart card to clock is eliminated. A combination of fingerprint reading and non-fingerprint reading scanners can be implemented on the same time and attendance network.
