SecurLinx Corporation, a developer of biometric technology, has announced a new technology designed to prevent check fraud called IDTrac. The product is based on the company’s facial recognition system called FaceTrac that matches surveillance footage with a photo located on an ID card shown with bank transactions.

By retaining the footage of a user, if a check comes back as unpaid, IDTrac is able to quickly determine who was responsible and mark that down so that they are unable to do it again.  

Problems with buddy punching and misuse of manager keys and codes have lead fast food establishments to implement biometric devices to stop misconduct by employees, according to a QSR Web article. Devices such as fingerprint readers integrated into time clocks and point of sales systems are some of the biometric solutions being employed.
