Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for activating financial cards via biometric authentication of an individual presenting the card for activation. Information from the financial card presented for activation is entered into the system and is stored in association with the card presenter's biometric information. Financial card activation is enabled via the biometric system sending the entered financial card information and an authorization of the identity of the card presenter to the card provider for card activation.
