Why Do Retailers Face Challenges With Current Payment Methods?
Modern retail requires speed, security, and convenience. Yet loyalty or membership cards are often forgotten, checkout times remain long, and fingerprint scanners raise hygiene concerns in high-traffic environments. Traditional methods struggle to meet rising consumer expectations for seamless, contactless experiences.
What Makes Palm Vein Biometrics Ideal for Retail?
Palm vein recognition uses subcutaneous vein patterns captured with infrared light. Unlike fingerprints, it is not affected by age, skin tone, or skin elasticity. The process is entirely contactless, hygienic, and fast (≈315 ms), making it perfect for high-volume retail environments.
For customers, it means “Pay with Hand” convenience. For retailers, it ensures security, speed, and reduced dependence on physical cards.
