Golden Finger is a smart, modular biometric and NFC-based system developed to modernize institutional access, attendance, and service delivery processes. The system includes three main modules:
- myExam – for secure exam attendance authentication
- myAttendance – for lecture attendance tracking
- myDH – for managing dining hall token access and food distribution
Golden Finger enhances institutional efficiency, reduces manual administrative processes, and improves transparency in tracking student activity. It is currently being explored for enterprise adaptation by ZB Bank for asset tracking and management, and by the Public Service Commission for employee attendance monitoring and NFC-based public transport access for civil servants.
