mrnutsandbolts, here is the extent of the relationship between SMME and Advantis;
From the SMME 10-Q;
SmartMetric is now in the process of manufacturing it’s biometric credit/debit card with the ServiRed Advantis payments card chip and operating system. This will allow over 100 Banks worldwide who are already using the ServiRed Advantis chip and chip card operating system to easily issue this new SmartMetric – ServiRed/Advantis biometric credit and debit card.
They bought some chips from ServiRed/ Advantis. Nothing more.
