A personal banking card that uses a fingerprint reading system on the back of the card that is used to read a particular individual's finger print and match that information with the finger print information contained in the memory storage system of the card. The card also has two electronic storage means on the back of the card that may be micro chips or some similar means. The storage system is used to store both information relating to the user's bank account number, the balance in the account as well as information relating to finger print information of the owner of the card. There is a means to communicate between the two storage means in order that a signal can be given from one to the other in order to "unlock" the account and allow charges to be made by using the card. When the card has been "unlocked" via the security feature, the card is active and merely swiping it or otherwise using it will cause charges to be paid and the amount deducted from the account balance stored on the card.
