What is a Palm Vein Scan and How Does it Work?
Understanding Palm Vein Technology
Palm vein scanning is a biometric authentication technology that uses near-infrared light to capture the unique vein pattern beneath the skin of your palm. Unlike fingerprints that capture surface features, palm vein scanners detect the hemoglobin in your blood, creating a map of your internal vascular structure that’s completely unique to you.
How It Works
When you place your palm over the scanner, near-infrared light is emitted and partially absorbed by the hemoglobin in your veins. The scanner captures this pattern as a dark network against a lighter background. This vein pattern is then digitized, encrypted, and stored as a template for future authentication. The entire process takes less than a second and works without any physical contact with the device.
Superior Security Features
- Internal biometric: Unlike fingerprints or facial features that are external and can be replicated, vein patterns are internal and invisible to the naked eye.
- Liveness detection: The system only works with blood actively flowing through veins, making it impossible to fool with replicas or photographs.
- Non-duplicable: The complex vascular patterns are nearly impossible to forge or duplicate, offering a 1 in 34 billion chance of false acceptance.
Palm Vein Pattern Recognition
The unique vascular pattern in your palm serves as your biological password that cannot be lost, stolen, or forgotten.
1. RGB captures palm image
2. IR captures vein patterns
3. Generates unique feature ID and matches it
Feature Comparison: Fingerprint vs Face vs Palm Vein Recognition
Biometric Method | Extracted Feature Type | Average Number of Feature Points | Technical Description |
Fingerprint Recognition | Ridge minutiae (ridge endings, bifurcations, intersections) | 30–80 effective feature points | Relies on epidermal ridge structures; performance can be affected by skin dryness, moisture, damage, or aging. Based on surface-level patterns. |
Facial Recognition | Facial landmarks (eye corners, nose tip, mouth corners, jawline, etc.) | 68–150 key points (depending on algorithm, e.g., Dlib, ArcFace) | Extracts external visual features; influenced by lighting, angle, expression, masks, and occlusions. |
Palm Vein Recognition | Subcutaneous vein topology + surface palmprint texture (RGB + IR dual mode) | 10,000–20,000+ feature points (depending on sensor resolution and algorithm) | Captures Palmprint RGB surface feature and Captures internal vascular Vein patterns, which are invisible and unique to each person. Highly stable after age 6 and resistant to forgery or environmental changes. |

Frequently Asked Questions about Palm Vein Scanners
Find answers to the most common questions about our palm vein authentication technology and ordering process.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ is 2 units for palm vein reader devices. However, we offer flexible options for businesses of all sizes. For pilot projects or testing purposes, we can arrange for single unit purchases with a slightly different pricing structure.
How accurate is the recognition?
With advanced RGB/IR image alignment and high-precision optics, the system achieves superior accuracy, even outperforming facial recognition. Modern palm recognition algorithms using RGB + IR technology can reach a false acceptance rate as low as 1 in 100,000,000,000, providing the precision required for finance-grade applications.
What’s the delivery time for international orders?
For sample orders, delivery time is typically within 5 to 7 working days. For bulk orders of more than 1,000 units, delivery time is approximately 25 working days.
How does the SDK/API integration work?
X-Telcom provides a developer-friendly SDK and API package that allows businesses to integrate palm vein recognition into existing systems. The SDK includes libraries and documentation for multiple programming languages, enabling developers to incorporate the palm vein reader’s dual-mode RGB + IR image capture and matching functions into their applications. The API offers secure communication with local or cloud-based databases for identity matching, ensuring a seamless user experience. This approach allows for quick integration with banking apps, access control systems, or KYC platforms while maintaining high security and performance standards.
Why Dual-Mode (RGB + IR) Matters for Finance
Many basic palm modules on the market only use IR light. These are fine for door access or attendance, but they do not meet the security demands of payment environments.
X-Telcom’s dual-mode devices combine RGB and IR imaging, allowing for cross-verification of palmprints and subcutaneous veins. This significantly reduces spoofing risk, enhances liveness detection, and improves recognition accuracy—critical in financial, KYC, and national ID systems.
A critical warning:
IR-only palm modules are not secure enough for payments. These low-cost, single-modality modules were originally designed for access control, not finance. In secure systems, RGB + IR is the new minimum standard.
Modern palm recognition algorithms using RGB + IR can reach a false acceptance rate as low as 1 in 1,000,000 (1e-6)—exactly the precision that finance-grade applications require.
