Why Do Schools Face Challenges in Campus Payments?
Education institutions struggle with outdated payment and access systems. Student ID or recharge cards are frequently lost, cloned, or stolen, leading to unauthorized transactions. Mobile payments raise parental concerns about smartphone use by younger students. On top of that, slow cafeteria queues caused by card swiping or PIN entry create frustration and inefficiency.
What Makes Palm Vein Biometrics a Better Alternative?
Palm vein technology uses subcutaneous vein patterns captured with infrared light. These biometric traits are unique to each student, stable over a lifetime, and not affected by age, skin tone, or skin elasticity.
With X-Telcom’s Biometric Palm Vein Scanner, authentication is fully contactless, hygienic, and fast (~315 ms), ensuring smoother student experiences and reliable campus operations.
