New York, NY—October 6, 2003—International Biometric Group (IBG) announces the nineteenth installment of its Biometric Business and Technology Teleconference series. Lem Sanders, a Consultant at IBG, will be leading a discussion about "Biometrics and Financial Services."

The market for biometric technologies in the financial services sector is poised for significant growth over the next five years. International Biometric Group's "Biometric Market Report 2003-2007" projects that annual biometric revenues in the financial services sector will grow from $99.4 million in 2003 to $672.8 million in 2007.

This teleconference will discuss the use of biometrics for a variety of financial service applications. It will examine the return-on-investment of using biometrics in these applications, as well as look at the challenges that have so far kept most financial institutions from embracing biometrics on a large-scale.

The call will take place on Thursday, October 9 at 1:00 pm ET (10:00 am PT). There is no charge to join the call, which will last about an hour, and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions.
