Credit card company wants hands to be a payment method

Reclaim the Net: Ingenico, a credit card company, has unveiled a palm vein biometric payment system in partnership with Fujitsu Frontech North America and Fulcrum Biometrics. The system will enable contactless transactions, supposedly to streamline the payment process. This solution may also minimize the risk of fraud to businesses but raises many questions surrounding privacy and civil liberties.

The system uses Fujitsu’s PalmSecure technology and Fulcrum’s biometric identification technology.

“Palm vein identification is a much faster way of making payments than traditional chip and pin and offers several tangible advantages, with none of the security risks of other biometric methods,” said Ingenico Senior Executive Vice-President of Global Solutions Development Michel Léger in a press release. “We are seeing a lot of interest from merchants in the solution that we have developed with Fujitsu Frontech North America and Fulcrum Biometrics. Palm vein identification gives them new opportunities to authenticate and identify their customers in the most possible seamless way, personalize their offers and create unrivaled experiences in-store. This partnership is set to transform and revolutionize payment experiences for consumers.” MORE
