Amazon unveils a new biometric payment system that will allow customers to use their palms to make everyday payments
This undated handout photo courtesy of Amazon shows a person waving their hand above the new Amazon palm recognition payment system called"Amazon One" in Seattle, Washington. Amazon on September 29 unveiled a new biometric payment system using palm recognition, to be made available to rival retailers and also promoted as a replacement for badge entry at stadiums and workplaces.
The system called Amazon One was touted as "a fast, convenient, contactless way for people to use their palm to make everyday activities like paying at a store, presenting a loyalty card, entering a location like a stadium, or badging into work more effortless." Amazon vice president Dilip Kumar said the system was developed as "a quick, reliable, and secure way for people to identify themselves or authorize a transaction while moving seamlessly through their day."Amazon One uses each individual's "unique palm signature," an alternative to other biometric identifiers such as fingerprint, iris or facial recognition.
In Amazon Go stores, the palm-waving system will be added to the store's entry gate as an option for shoppers.
