Biometric cash machines

Interesting story on the BBC Web site about biometric ATMs.

They are being used in India to pay illiterate workers who have trouble with the paperwork involved in collecting their wages from the bank.

The ATMs use fingerprint technology to identify card holders and also provide voice instructions for the user.

The security benefits of biometric cash machines are obvious but it's interesting to see that there are other advantages.
